Flat Stanley arrived in Lewes, Delaware on Friday, November 11, 2011. He was delivered by the United States Postal Service. Our family was very happy to see Flat finally arrive at our house. He came at the perfect time. My children are upset because I will not be home for Thanksgiving. So we decided to have our Thanksgiving dinner early. Our family was excited he was going to be our company on this very special holiday. During his stay he helped out a lot around the house. He was treated like one of the family.



Flat Stanley helped us make Thanksgiving dinner. He had such a good time carving the turkey. We even caught him sneaking a little white meat early.



It then was time to sit down to dinner. Flat sat in his own seat with a big plate of food. We were all surprised because he really didn't eat much. I don't think he cared too much for the white meat, because when he tasted the dark meat he went crazy eatting the turkey. My son Thomas had to fight him off so he could finish the leg.



Then, came everyone's favorite time, dessert!! Flat Stanley helped my daughter Bridget make pies earlier in the day. They had such a good time. They throw flour at each other and made a big mess in the kitchen. Flat was a good sport and helped Bridget clean up the mess. Flat tried a piece of both the apple and the pumkin pies. I believe his favorite was the pumkin pie with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Flat Stanley's adventure came to an end on Monday morning when we placed him back in the mailbox for his next adventure. We continued his adventure by mailing him to Florida. In doing this project we found out that my nephew who is in first grade in Florida is creating a Flat Stanley Adventure in his classroom. We emailed our pictures and mailed Flat on to him
