Flat Stanley makes a quick trip to the U S of A....

So Flat was getting a bit homesick, so we took him with us to the Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, WA.  We think he had a great time (he didn't want to go down the waterslides though - to wet for him).

Here we are heading to the US border - lineups were minimal thank goodness!

We didn't tell them Flat Stanley was travelling with us, even though we probably should have!

After about five hours of driving, we reached the Great Wolf Lodge.  Flat Stanley immediately made a new friend.

Ethan and Renee wanted to get in on the action too (Nick was playing shy)

Flat Stanley didn't go in the water, but he did watch the kids for a bit.  They all had a blast, and I am sure Flat Stanley would have enjoyed himself too if he wasn't afraid of getting wet and falling apart.

The big pool in the front is the wave pool, all the big waterslides are at the left, and the huge play area for the kids is at the right.  The big bucket at the top fills with water, and if you are standing under it....

You'll get soaked!

It was a quick trip down, only a couple of days.  On the way back Flat Stanley saw Seattle, Safeco and Qwest Fields, and then came *home* to Canada!

You might not be able to read the signage - it is welcoming Flat Stanley back to Canada....
