Trapper's 2ND grade class sent out "Flat Stanley" for an adventurous time. He was mailed to Grandma and Grandpa in Escalante, Utah. But before he left, we welcomed him with open arms. He visited with the family, jumped on the trampoline, played on the backhoe, and rode in the "orange car." Then we sent him to Utah.
There he rode over Hell's Backbone, visited Devil's Rock Garden ,and played on the rocks with Grandma and Grandpa. They showed him Hole in the Rock Crossing, where the Mormon Pioneers made marks in the sandstone from ropes they used to lower the wagons down the cliff. Then they took Stanley to The Broken Bow Arch, and taught him about the Anasazi Indians.
After his adventure with Grandma an Grandpa he made it safely tucked away in his envelope back to us. Trapper will be giving a report on his adventures next week. Flat Stanley is trying to re cooperate from his expedition. He is watching the Travel Channel with a (virgin) Pina Colada in his hand. Gotta go, he wants a bit more ice...

Ah, traveling via envelope across the US. And I've never even been on an airplane!
It's too bad you couldn't have come. I mean, Flat Stanley is a nice guy and all, but I'd rather see you in Utah!
I love the Flat Stanley!!! It's such a great teaching technique. I kinda wish I could've gone to Devil's Rock Garden and all that other jazz. Devil's Rock is Parker's all time favorite place. Hmm, we need to plan a trip to Esky again. I love it there. loves, jes
