If you don't know the story of "Flat Stanley" by Jeff Brown, he is a young boy who is accidentally squished "as flat a pancake" when a bulletin board falls on him. He discovers that there are advantages to being flat. One of the advantages is that he can fit into an envelope and be mailed on adventures. In the book he is mailed to California. As with the book, he ended up in California since Lauryn picked me for her adventure contact for Stanley.
Here are some pictures of Stanley's and my adventures.
Here is Stanley in Peace Plaza in San Francisco Japantown
Stanley on Post Street in Japantown San Francisco
Stanley shopping in Japantown - He picked up the bento book in the background "Yum-Yum Bento Box". He also purchased some cute little animal food picks. This way the kids in Lauryn's class can learn about how some Japanese kids have awesome bento boxes that they take for the lunch each day.
Stanley at one of the fortune cookie factories in San Francisco Chinatown. Stanley picked up bags of fortune cookies to take back to Minnesota with him. He got the original flavor and some chocolate ones as well. He also picked up a bag of flat cookies. He couldn't pass these up as they are "flat" like him.
On the street in Chinatown. Notice the lanterns lite across the street in the background.
Flat Stanley at the Snoopy Museum in Santa Rosa California
On Snoopy's Dog house outside of the museum.

At the Warm Puppy Cafe next to the ice arena
Here he is sharing cookies with Snoopy. He also picked up some beanie bands shaped as Peanut characters for Lauryn and her classmates
I had so much fun with Stanley. I will be sad to see him go but excited for Lauryn and her classmates to receive the package with Stanley and the goodies.
Have you noticed that my pictures are a better. I finally purchased a new camera. I purchased a Sony Cyber-shot and I love it.
I should have more news to share with you later this week. One that will mean that I will be more consist with my blogging post.
Until Next Time
