Ah, Flat Stanley...

We took our Flat Stanley to the Space Needle, Elliott Bay Marina, Ballard Locks, Issaquah Salmon Hatchery and to the dog park at Beaver Lake

Another place we took our Flat Stanley was to the Flight Museum. He looked pretty cool climbing the steps of Air Force 1 and boarding an SST.

LOL Yes, Flat Stanley. But he's the quiet, rugged sort of guy. I call him Manly Stanley.

In fact, texastrigirl, my niece lives in Texas. Is this a Texas thing? LOL
