Meet Flat Stanley!

I have started this blog to share a very special visitor's travels as he visits us from Illinois.  His name is Flat Stanley and he will be in Vancouver and surrounding area for the next couple of weeks.  We are hoping to be able to take Flat Stanley to the Paralympics in Vancouver, which will begin on March 12th (go Canada go!!!). 

Flat Stanley arrived today, and the first thing he wanted to do was just relax. 

It is a long journey from Illinois to Vancouver!  So he hung out in our kitchen, and lo and behold he witnessed a very special visitor to our backyard - a woodpecker!  It was a Pileated Woodpecker to be exact.

There are five of us in our family, Ken and Anna (dad and mom) and Ethan (7), Nick (almost 6) and Renee (almost 3). We hope to show Flat Stanley a great time while he is here.  Thanks Taryn for sending him to us.  We promise to take good care of him while he is here.

Tomorrow we hope that Flat Stanley can visit Ethan's Grade Two class at our local school.  Stay tuned!
