Alex's Flat Stanley

Alex sent his Flat Stanley to visit the Teel Family in Kentucky! 



Flat Stanley arrived in time to celebrate Easter with the family. Flat Stanley attended church with the Teel Family at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. He enjoyed meeting Pastor Berner. 



Flat Stanley also enjoyed learning all about motorcycles when he visited the Thoroughbred Harley-Davidson shop. 




Unfortunately, Mr. Dan's mother needed to travel to the Mayo Clinic for surgery. Flat Stanley went along to keep the family company and in good spirits. They did enjoy stopping in Wisconsin for sausage and cheese! Yummy!

Mr. Dan and Ms. Teel took Flat Stanley to work with them. Flat Stanley enjoyed meeting their co-workers and learning about the work they do. 




The best part of Flat Stanley's trip was going fishing and visiting Rabbit Hash. Rabbit Hash is a historical site where a lot of people ride their motorcycles. 



Thank you, Teel Family, for a great visit!

Melina's Flat Stanley

Melina sent her Flat Stanley to Charleston, South Carolina to visit her cousins. Penny, Dan, Maverick and Poe showed Flat Stanley how they relax in sunny South Carolina! 
 Flat Stanley enjoyed lounging in the hammock that overlooks the Wando River. The Wando River  is brackish, which means it has salt and fresh water in it! Alligators, stingrays, and even sharks sometimes make their way up the creek!



Flat Stanley enjoyed climbing the palm tree in the Heater's yard. We don't have palm trees in Indiana!


Flat Stanley also climbed the oak tree covered in Spanish moss. The Spanish Moss has lots of red bugs in it that can make you very itchy! The Heaters had to tell Flat Stanley to watch out for them!




Of course, no trip to Charleston would be complete without a trip to the beach! Flat Stanley enjoyed seeing the Heaters favorite beach, the Isle of Palms!

Thank you, Heater Family, for a great trip!
