So, many parents may already be familiar with Flat Stanley, but for those who aren't, let me elucidate (sorry for the big word, I've been watching Disney's Aristocats lately). =) Anyway, Flat Stanley originally used to be a way for elementary classes to find out more about different places in the world. He was a laminated figure that would get mailed to different people (connected somehow to the students in the class) and those people would take Flat Stanley around and photograph him out and about in different places where they lived. The pictures and Stanley would be mailed back to the class and then Stanley would go out to conquer a brave new corner of the world. Here, Flat Stanley works a little differently--he just likes to go and visit each student of our eldest son's class. Stanley comes for a visit and then the students paste the pictures of what he did along with a written description of the visit in a class book. Unfortunately, I don't have eldest son's written description, but I do have a few photos of our visit from Stanley...
Fortunately for Stanley his visit coincided with a business trip to the capital city or our country.

The beach was beautiful, and a good time was had by all. Thanks for the visit Stanley!
