My class just finished reading "Flat Stanley" by Jeff Brown. Stanley is a cool little guy that gets squished flat when his bulletin board lands on top of him one night. Stanley has many flat adventures including posing as a kite one day for his little brother and being shipped to California to a friend's house when his family doesn't have enough money to send him via train or plane.
Now my class is in the process of making their own Flat Stanleys (or Flat Stanleyettas) and we are mailing them out to family or friends - as far as we can get them to go. Unfortunately many of my kiddo's parents have not returned a mailing address to mail their Stanleys to. Many of the kids do not have family out of state or even out of the town they live in.
Sooooo, what I am wondering is.. Would anyone be interested in taking in a Flat Stanley? Usually what participants do is take pictures with Stanley in their hometown and write a letter back to the kids about what Flat Stanley did on his "vacation." Sometimes they include little items like brochures from the tourist or convention center of their town. The kids (and their teacher especially of course) would really appreciate anyone's involvement that is interested in our little project. I have about 11 students who do not have an address as of today.
If you are interested, please PM me or write a reply here on this post.
Moderators, if you feel this is inappropriate or need to move this, I understand.

Now you know good and well I will get on this one! Send me a flat Stanley. He will have one heck of an adventure here!
-
:clap; Yay! Thank you!
-
Do you want a letter back from Flat Stanley or an adventure story, or a box of stuff from CA for your kids to look at?
-
Last year we had them done a few ways.. One grandma wrote about Stanley's adventure in the mail slot and on the truck, and then sitting in the mailbox waiting for her, etc. It was great! Other's write letters about what Flat Stanley did. Some send pictures, others send information about their hometown. We even got some with souvenires from their city's sports teams. A couple visited classrooms. One Flat Stanley even went snowmobiling and ran into a Flat Stanley from another state! I've really enjoyed Flat Stanley and his adventures and the kids have to.
-
Oh I remember my son's Flat Stanley - he really got around! The photos he got back, and the travel log were so much fun to read. I am happy to help.
I will PM my address. What grade are the kids?
-
Thank you!
I have second graders - who are very bouncy this time of year. Making their Flat Stanley's tomorrow will keep their teacher from pulling her hair out.
3 Flat Stanley's down!
Thanks so much!
-
Count me in too!
-
my sister is a 2nd grade teacher in oregon. i'd be happy to have a flat stanley, maybe after he comes to colorado, he will go to oregon
-
My son LOVES Flat Stanley books. He's in 4th grade, but still goes back and reads some of his books now and then. We would love a Flat Stanley, I'll pm you my address. I can see if Brendan's teacher will take a picture of flat Stanley in 4th grade, that would be fun!
What a great idea!!!!
-
I will babysit the flat guy. I will PM you...Boxman
-

-
I would like a flat stanley to take around.
When do you need all the information/photos back?
How big are they going to be?
I can take him/her fourwheeling in my baja, and maybe down the Jersey shore.
Maybe let him/her ride on the back of a cat :waving;...
Ill Pm my info if you have any little ones who still need help with there project.
P&K
-
I could teach a flat stanley how to operate a plow truck. Maybe he could go to high school for a day, maybe ride in a police car. Let me know if you still need the information.
-
Oh I too would love to have Flat Stanley come visit here.
Ann
-
I can take a flat stanley too!!! He can visit with my grade 2 class after Christmas!! Flat Stanley will love newfoundland!!!
-
:flower; Yay! Thank you, everyone!
The kids finished making their Flat Stanleys or Flat Stanleyettas today. We are going to write our letters next week and take pictures with our Flat Stanleys before we mail them off. Then we'll pack them all up and send them off on December 19th. They are all so excited.

If you want one to go a long way then PM me and I'll take one in here in the UK, but I understand if time limits mean you want to keep them in the USA. Rose
-
Thank you everyone for your offers to take in dear Stanley. I will PM you next week to let you know a little bit about the kiddo whose flat stanley you'll be getting.
Rose, I would love to have a Flat Stanley visit the UK. I'll PM you.
-
I have a son in 3rd grade - they would love to entertain Flat Stanley!!
-
:yahoo; I'm getting a flat Stanley in the UK! So looking forward to it. Thanks for letting him travel this far.
-
I'm ready, willing and able to take on a Flat Stanley and show him/her top end aussie life
-
Looks like you have plenty of takers, but if you still need a place to send a Flat Stanley, let me know. I live near Colonial Williamsburg and Yorktown.
-
I recieved Flat Stanley today! Although, it must have been a long, warm trip, since when I opened the envelope he had taken off 2/3 of his buttons and both his eyes! I've heard of being tired, but taking your eyes off to sleep is a new one on me! :rofl;
-
Stanleyetta arrived in California! A little glue and her eyes were back in focus!
:bandance;
-
:( i still haven't received my flat stanley. and i am looking forward to his arival. after i show him around denver i'm going to take him on an airplane ride to corvallis oregon and introduce him to a 2nd grade class there before sending him home.
-
I have not received mine yet either but I will let you know when he or she arrives.
-
Mine has a long way to come but I'll let you know as soon as she/he lands - Isn't this exciting :2thumbsup;
-
The flat guy arrived yesterday here in Wisconsin. He also was sleeping without his eyes. But we glued them back on. My sister took him downstairs to do his laundry then part of my family went out to eat with him. So far he is fat and I mean flat and happy...Boxman
-
:thumbup;
I got my flat stanley.
He is wearing camos and also had an eye missing. Or he just likes to wink alot.
Gonna take him to work and let him play around there for a bit.
-
Stanleyetta arrived the other day, everything was intact! We were hoping to get a picture of her in the snow, but the rain melted it away! My son is very excited to bring her around. I'm thinking she'll become a New England Patriots and a Boston Red Sox fan in no time!
-
I am sure Angel is worried about his Flat Stanley so here is a picture of him making "Snow Angels" in the snow. He is having a good time so far...Boxman
-
I want Flat Stanley to visit ME! What do I need to do?
I sent you a PM, MIbarra!!!!!
-
:2thumbsup; Great pics of Flat Stanley Boxman. Angel will love the snow.
Sluff, with all the rush of Christmas and travelling, I have about 4 Flat Stanley's that have not made it out because I have to buy manila envelopes. So sorry. He will be soon on his way though.
KellyT, I think I had enough addresses to take Flat Stanley. But there is another teacher at school doing the project and she may need someone to take in a homeless Flat Stanley. When we get back to school, I'll ask. I'm sorry if I didn't respond to your PM. Things are crazy here!
If anyone has any questions, please let me know.
-
Great! Let me know if she needs a Flat Stanely sitter! I'll do it!
-
Mine is still not here but I won't start to worry until you do MIbarra :)
-
Mine is still not here but I won't start to worry until you do MIbarra :)
mine must be one that needs a travel "crate" (manila envelope) because he hasn't arrived as well.
mibara even though it would mean a late arrival back to you i would be glad to send my stanley to kellyt after he visits my sister's classroom in oregon. he would be on his way to becoming a world traveler. what do you think?
-
Hmm.. Gramma I think you should have received yours.
I did send them through the school mail system so I hope there wasn't a problem.
-

maybe he will arive today
-
I am still waiting on Flat Stanley to arrive.
-
:( I fear our district workers may have taken vacation before they got all of the Flat Stanley's mailed.
I'm sorry guys! I put them in our district mailbox on the 18th and 19th. The administration building was supposed to be open which means the district post office should have been to. They should then be out next week.
-
Okay.. All Flat Stanleys have left the district "post office" unless I PMed you. If you don't receive yours by Friday of next week, please let me know.
Here is the list of people that I have with Flat Stanley's arriving or have arrived:
Sluff - had to change your little person, but it should be arriving
G-Ma
Paul.Karen
Okarol
Kitkatz
Jess 21
Mikey
Grammalady
Boxman
Skyedogrocks
Rose (who when finished will send it to Lola - if you don't mind Rose)
Del (who will send to Romona - if of course you don't mind) This is the one I have yet to ship out because I ran out of Flat Stanley cut outs before I put them in the district mail. They will receive a "class" Flat Stanley.
Twirl, I have a new kiddo and I want him to get in on the experience so as soon as he makes a Flat Stanley, I want to send his to you.
So, if you have any questions, let me know. We received one Flat Stanley back this week and she visited Maryland. The kids loved hearing about her trip.
-
Oh, by the way...
Kidney4Traci, Jessup, Pelagia, and KellyT,
Since I ran out of Flat Stanleys before addresses, would you mind if the Flat Stanleys that came in early took another trip in an envelope and saw some of you?
-
No Flat Stanley has arrived here. I will let you know when he arrives.
-
Still Waiting for my Stanley....
-

-
flat stanley still has not arrived. i have lots of plans for him, and i must say i am quite disappointed in the postal snail. hopefully he will be in my mail today, he can't be late for our flight to oregon.
-
Can I send you the pics when mine arrives. For some reason my printer is having hiccups.
-
Sure. I'll print them out.
-
Flat Stanley had a good time hanging around with me in Milwaukee and he will be mailed back to TX tomorrow to partake in another trip if he is up to it. Tell Angel I said hi and I hope he likes the pictures. I will miss the flat guy...Boxman
-
Yay! A Flat Stanley on his way home. Thanks so much for entertaining him, Boxman!
-
Me me me......
I have only just caught on..... but would love a Flat Stanley!!! If you have time send it on down to me for a second adventure.
I am sure he/she would love an Aussie adventure. I have PMed you my address. :cheer:
-
Tell Thuy I have arrived in warm, windy California. I have decided to stay here a week. I am going to sixth grade tomorrow. I am a little nervous.
Stanleyetta
Can you print the pic I upload here and when the envelope arrives, give them to Thuy. Thanks. Or else let her have them as I upload. Whatever you want to do.
Kit
-
:clap; :cheer: Thank goodness she arrived! I was beginning to worry about some of our Flat Friends. The district mail room must have been a scary wait for them!
-
I figured she got out in Denver and missed her flight. :rofl;
-
Flat S-Etta arrived today, a little jet lagged so we sat and had a glass of water and Saul did an eye reattachment for her and she is resting for now. Tell Erin we plan on having a great time. Since she arrived late in the month, how long can she stay?
Ann
-
It is up to you, G-Ma. We just appreciate everyone who was willing to participate so if you need to keep them a while longer, that is okay with us.
-
:yahoo;
-
Stanlyetta finaly arrived here just in time for 40 below temperatures and no jacket.
-
Sluff make her a jacket and take her on a ride with you
and be careful, remember you said Bug is so protective of U
a chewed up Stanlyetta would not be a pretty picture
-
:bandance; flat stanly has finally arrived! i will take him to visit "the rock" and then on thursday it's off to dia to get on a plane to oregon. before i send him home he is going to visit a 2nd grade class (mrs. sullivan, my sister) in lebenon oregon. i'm still thinking about sending him to my neice at seattle pacific college. i think i'm going to have as much fun with this as the kids!!!!
-
Someone please send him/her onto me down here. :cheer: :cheer:
It's really hot today, she may need a bikini!
-
Wattle,
We'd love to send her to Australia! Once one of them gets back home, we'll ship him or her off again! My kids would love to mail them out again! They're so excited since one of them came back and we opened her up last Friday. Tomorrow we are sending her out again.
-
wattle, my sister teaches 2nd grade and her class will be doing something similar soon. this has been so much fun when carlyn gets her act together i'll let everyone know and we can send another class postcards, which is what she is thinking of doing. they would just love some from overseas.
-
Oooh yay! If she wants one from Texas, tell her to send it my way!
-
Sluff make her a jacket and take her on a ride with you

I have to figure out a way to put leathers on her and cool sunglasses... :rofl;
-
How about a pen Pals with my sixth graders? Give me a sneaky way to get them to write something.
-
That would be kind of neat! They would love that too - writing to big kids.
-
Yes, PM me and we can set something up for this year or next year.
-
Flat Stanley has landed in the UK :yahoo; When I opened him I thought he was winking at me,but then I realised his eye had come unstuck :rofl; He's back in one piece now and ready for a few visits around this part of England. Will pass him on to Lola in a week or so (I'll let you know when he's on his way Lola). And Manuela you didn't murder my address at all, you made a great job of it.
-
Yay, Rose! I'm glad he made it.
Sorry about the lost eyeballs! I guess Elmer's wasn't a great choice for glue. Maybe we should have used superglue.
-
Flat went to 6th grade today. Found out about dividing fractions!
-
Woohoo! Flat Stanley is getting smarter and smarter!
-
Boxman, Angel's Flat Stanley arrived today! (We had a teacher work day this Saturday.)
Thank you so much for participating. I'm sure Angel will have lots of fun finding out what Flat Stanley did on his "vacation."
-
Flat Stanleyetta will be on her way by Friday next week. She decided she likes sunny California.
-
Oooh yay! If she wants one from Texas, tell her to send it my way!
it has been decided that stanley will go to school with my sister on tuesday. her class is going to send a request for a post card from texas. carlyn is hoping they can collect a post card from each state and a few foreign country's to mark a big map in the hall for the entire school to see.
stanley has a picture for you on the air plane.
-
I cans end a California postcard if you send an addy
-
Wonderful! I will send a post card from the Lone Star state!

i think what carlyn is planning on doing is have her class send oregon postcards to people first, requesting a post card for their map. but i'll check with her and let everyone know. i know she would LOVE a card from austraila. thank you ever so much. i think i'm having as much if not more fun with this than the kids.
-
Stanley will be leaving the UK tomorrow (Monday) and winging his way to Lola. Because of Dad being so ill I haven't been able to do quite as much with Stanley as I'd hoped but I think the children will enjoy seeing what he has been up to - well I hope they will!
Despite everything that's been going on I've enjoyed having Stanley to stay, I'll miss the little guy ;)
-
stanley is enjoying no snow in oregon.
-
Flat Stanleyetta misses Thuy so I am sending her back on Monday is a Priority box, since what she collected at the bookstore will not fit in the envelope anymore! We bought Thuy her own set of Flat Stanley books. Don't tell her! Stanleyetta wants it to be surprise!
-
Thursday, Sarah, Stanleyetta and I went to lunch and shopping...bookstore first...yahoooo did we have fun, yes it will be a box also for S Etta, because she came so late and missed the first trip to the Mts, I'm keeping her a bit longer so she can have pictures in the mountains. We sent a note to Erin today. I think we are all enjoying this more or as much as the children. :cheer:
-
Kitkatz, Thuy is going to be THRILLED! :cheer: The kids are fighting over the Flat Stanley books in the library right now so everyone will be envious.
G-ma, take your time! I'm glad you are having fun with Stanleyetta!
-
I went overboard! Again! I just can't help it! Thuy is getting a box coming to her at your classroom addy. It will be mailed Monday afternoon, I hope. There is a set of Flat Stanley books, a little fairy child knickknack in a hello kitty bag. Plus around 14 or 15 California postcards and a California pin. Flat Stanleyetta was put on top. I hang head in shame, but I loved getting every bit of it with the Stanleyetta. Did you know this Stanleyetta likes to read and loves bookstores!
I can send you the pics I have if you will give me your real email addy. My printer is acting strange and will only print when it wants to. What a pain! Tell Thuy, Stanleyetta will be coming priority mail next week!
-
I will be sending my Stanlietta back soon also. Everything has been going well except for the loss of an eye.
-
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about the Flat Stanleys. So sorry that I didn't get one so that Stanley or Stanleyetta could enjoy a little Caribbean trip. If they are sending out any more, please incllude me. I am PMing you my address, MIbarra.
-
I will be sending my Stanlietta back soon also. Everything has been going well except for the loss of an eye.
OH NO LOSS OF AN EYE WHO WHEN WHERE YOUR MAMA TOLD YOU TO WEAR A HELMET
-
Note to self: Stay away from Sluff if you value your eyes.
GOT IT!
-
Bajanne...I'll be MORE than happy to bring my Stanleyetta to visit you...just send us a ticket please. :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
lol Hey, I'll personally deliver a Flat Stanley to Bajanne! I too just need a ticket.
Thanks to all of those who pasted an eye back on!
Bajanne, got your address. I'd love to resend one of our Flat Stanleys out! I know the kids would too.
-
I have to find an eye.
-
Don't worry, Sluff! I have plenty of eyes! We can attach one when she gets back.
-
My Stanley was missing both eyes but they were in the envolpe. I will try to get him in the snow this week as my house is a little insane at the moment
-
Don't worry, Sluff! I have plenty of eyes! We can attach one when she gets back.
Cool, Thanks.
-
Did you know my Stanlietta is a Green Bay Packers fan?
-
Great Picture....
-
That poor Stanleyetta was brainwashed!
-
Cool! I'll have to print those out and take them to school.
She doesn't look too bad missing an eye. If you strategically place her hair, you wouldn't even notice!
-
A few Stanleyetta photos.
She hung out in the Christmas tree for awhile.
Johnny liked how Jimi Hendrix's afro gave her a little hair boost.
She got burgers, fries and shakes at in-n-out burger.
Stanleyetta had fun going to the Renal Teen Prom too!
-
That Stanleyetta is a party animal!!!!
Wow!! Look at Jenna!!!!! Stunning!!
-
LOL
LOVE the afro picture :rofl; :rofl; To funny.
I want to post my pics. My stanly visited the historic Washington Crossing park on the Delaware river. Got a little history lesson...
But i tried to download the picture resizer from IHD and it is incompatible with vista :-(
And i am not computer savy.............
So i had them printed out and will send them back to little Ronnie end of the week.
-
I plan on sending some pictures back also MIbarra.
-
Thanks, Sluff!
Ha.. I didn't get the Afro picture until today! That is funny.

flat stanley has spent a week in my sister's classroom, hiding in a bag behind her desk (carlyn has been sick) but he came out and said hi yesterday. the entire class is sending letters, telling how stanley was with them for the inauguration and a teddy bear parade. the class has decided they all want flat stanleys of their own they need some addresses (if anyone is interested you can pm me) the are going to request post cards so they can mark a big map in the hall of all the places their cards have come from. my stanley will be returning to texas next week, after i get home.
-
:waving; :waving; Me Gramma,
I would love a Flat Stanley, even though I had never heard of it before!
It is SOOOO hot down here I am sure he/she will need a bikini!! :cheer:
-
Here are a few more.
-
Whooo hoooo...ice fishing... :clap;
-
:bandance; :bandance;
I love the ice fishing photo Sluff!!
It is 45 Degrees C (133F ) here today... I really need that ice and Beer! And I hate Beer.... thats how delirious I am :P
-
MIbarra I sent back Stanlietta ( she preferred spelling her name like that) She should arrive by Wednesday. I know it will be a little late but hopefully worth it.
-
Grammalady, I PMed you with my address. I would love to send a postcard from my country.
-
Hey Teacher. Stanleyetta is on her way in a priority box to your classroom addy. Mailed her yesterday afternoon. Should be to you soon.
-
Some of Ronnie's flat Stanley photos.
What is under the tarp?
Oh Cool can we go for a ride
off to Washington crossing park
then to the ball field but it is closed for the season
EDITED: Re-sized pictures - Sluff/Admin
-
P&K your poor little one eye'd flat stanly. But it dose look like he had fun
-
He just likes to wnk at the camera.
He is all better now :-)
-
haha how fun
-
Ok,.. we've received several Flat Stanleys. We are busy opening them, sharing them, making copies for our book, and writing thank you letters to send back. I wish I could post pics here of the kids with their letters and Flat Stanleys, but.. it would be against policy. I was also hoping to put up pics on our website and send you the link. However, 2 weeks ago they changed web maker services or whatever and now all it says is "we are under construction" and we are not allowed to put anything on our website yet because they want conformity! Goodness!
So, just know that we are ALL enjoying opening the Flat Stanley letters and gifts and exciting things.
I'm also working on sending some of them back out to enjoy another visit.
My bulletin board right now says, "Where in the World is Flat Stanley?" and we are marking each Flat Stanley that comes in.
-
Did my box get to you all?
-
the class has decided they all want flat stanleys of their own they need some addresses (if anyone is interested you can pm me) the are going to request post cards so they can mark a big map in the hall of all the places their cards have come from.
I just sent you a note. Hope it's not too late to get in on the fun.
-
Kitkatz,
Yes, Thuy got her package! She loved it!! We enjoyed looking at all the post cards and I told her I also had pictures to print out.
We have about 8 more to open so far. We keep getting boxes and boxes. The secretary brings me a big box at least twice a week! She's amazed at what is coming in! I think I'm going to try and "rent" a bulletin board in the school and put some letters and pictures up so everyone knows what we are doing. We are outside in "trailers" so the "insiders" don't see a lot of what 2nd grade is doing. But I'd really like them to see the wonderful responses we are getting.
-
Mine should be there by now. It may not be as elaborate as Kitkatz(knowing how creative kitkatz can be) but I did send along something the kids and teachers will love. ;)
-
flat stanley is on his way back to texas. my camera is broken so i didn't get the pictures i wanted of castel rock. yes there is a rock here that the town is named after. but johathan does have a stack of wonderful letters from the 2nd graders in lebenon, oregon. this has been so much fun.
-
:yahoo; Woohooo
Savannah's Stanletta arrived today!! :cheer: :cheer:
-
Flat Stanleyetta is on her way back to TX for Erin. I've been sick for 3 weeks..something different each week so was not able to do as many pictures as I wanted. Did you get the pictures I did email to you? Please let me know when the box arrives.
Thanks
:thx;
-
I got the e-mail photos. I will let you know when we get the box. =) Thanks again.
-
Alex's stanletta arrived today and our first outing we visited the local preschool
-
G-ma, Erin was THRILLED with the box and all the goodies! She asked, "I get to take this all home???" Thanks so much!
Wattle - I am trying to PM you but it says you have too many. I don't have a Savannah in my classes... Could there be some mistake?
-
I am so confused????
Can anyone tell me WHO sent me a Flat Stanley?
Does anyone know who Carlyn Sullivan is?? LOL
MIbarra.... Did you send me one?

I miss our little Staneyletta - she was the perfect house guest!
Manuela - did you take a photo of the who class together with their flat friends? I bet they are adorable! :waving;

-
LOL
Me too sluff.
I just sent wattle a PM a bit ago asking about the bus.
My new hobby is VW's. Joined a club last year and have won many trophies for my Baja.
-
I don't know what it is about them but I love those old buses. A relative of mine had one of them when she was a child and her Mom gathered the kids up and was leaving her husband at the time, (long dramatic story) anywho they were trying to get out of town and some how she hit some ravel and rolled the VW over totalling it out. Just a few minor injuries. I felt sorry they tottalled the VW.. :rofl;

I am late with the second flat Stanley. It will be out this week back to the child.

Flat Stanley arrived in the British Virgin Islands!! But his trip took very long! It was posted since early Feb, and only just got here. He arrived just as we were moving to our new apartment. We took a picture of him with the view of the first apartment, and will soon be taking some of him in the new apartment.
I will bring him to work at the Cruise Ship Pier with me very soon and will take
some picts.
He will have to stay with us a bit longer than 7 days, but he will be soon on his way.

We were at Drag Bingo last weekend and a lady had a flat Stanley with her and got pictures of him with the "queens" . Stanley does have an interesting life! :rofl;
-
I hope they got the candy I sent out .
-
:shy; My class enjoyed the lemon candy.... so did their teacher!
Thank you notes are being written and hopefully sent out by the end of April. It takes a long time for 2nd graders to do anything. (And of course, their teacher too.. she is ADD along with half the class...) =)

Here are some picts of Flat Stanley in the British Virgin Islands. He admired the view from my first apartment, then got to know the other view.
Disney Cruise had an inaugural visit, so I took his picture at our cruiseship dock. There were stilt dancers and he got to dance with them.
He went to my grandson's primary school and got pictures taken there. some of the kids wrote a letter to Katy who had sent the Flat Stanley.

There was a flat stanley on the mall at the Today show on Friday. Now I know what flat stanley is... I'm slow.

Hey, Did my 2nd Flat Stanley package ever arrive to the kid I sent it to?
-
Do recall a few years back, some activity with Flat Stanley. Did take it to the center and got a few pictures.
Events got out of hand, and never was able to follow through with it. :Kit n Stik;
Is this still an active project with the schoolers ?
Thing's one find's with idle moments:

This is a wonderful thread. I never knew Flat Stanley until seeing him here.
I hope this project is repeated in many schools as it is very neat for the kids to see the things far and wide outside their classroom.

Hey Charlie B53
Check the additional link I found routing around in old topics.
Had to do with Flat Stanley picture sizing.
Did add the link to my prior post.

Great! Thanks!
I've been wanting to learn how to resize images for a while for posting not only here but on other forums I belong to. And drawing a blank.
I know what I am going to be learning to night.

If anyone is interested, and on facebook, there is a Flat Stanley type program on the go for dialysis patients.. there's a group on facebook called The Misadventures of Flip the Dialysis Bird... it's the same idea, we kind of just pass him around from dialysis patient to dialysis patient.. take him on little adventures, take pictures, and post back to the group... he comes with his own passport, and everyone who has him fills out a page with a recap of his time, your name, and town where you live (I put Riki and Joan *mylastname* on mine when I sent it off).. it's actually kind of a neat idea...
This is a picture of me, Flip, and the Prime Minister, though you can only see the top of poor Flip's head in the shot.. Mr. Trudeau was actually holding Flip...
