Flat Stanley goes to work

Our niece Hailey sent us a Flat Stanley, (they just finished reading the book in 2nd grade). Stanley likes to go on adventures. When we were in Arizona, Derek's cousin Aaron sent us one too, he got to see a cactus. But Hailey's Flat Stanley got to ride in Derek's 240 ton haul truck. Look close, he is in the window in this picture.

Here Stanley is waiting with Derek for the shovel to get fixed and get loaded.

  6. Wow...thats one big truck! Flat Stanley sure gets around. I got flat Stanley at school around Halloween and made him a pumpkin costume and blaze orange hunting attire and and he was also in Dales airplane! He was also sent to the principals office and sat in the naughty chair for bringing his paper hunting gun to school....:(

  7. Yeah but Kim's truck gets better gas mileage! Maybe when Joey's ready to drive, they'll make one in a Hybrid!!
