Wow have we been busy! Already On To Book 7!



Flat Stanley has had some amazing adventures with us over the last few weeks. We have had our cousins (my nieces) here for the last three weeks and we were run off our feet! We had a great time at the Larry Berg Flight Path Park near the Vancouver International Airport! 
We watched the planes come in, took turns racing on the flight paths and even had Stanley travel all over the globe!
We enjoyed the Farmers Market and Fisherman's Warf in Steveston BC.
Steveston was hot and sunny when we stopped by and drinks were needed to refresh our adventurers!


Stanley has been almost everywhere we could think of taking him in the last few weeks and Alex has finished book 4,5,6 from the Flat Stanley World Wide Adventure Series!

Having finished book 5 and 6 in school this spring we are Jumping into book 7.

We have more fun plans for Stanley this summer and we look forward to sharing more of our summer adventures with you again soon! As with all our posts we would love to hear from you so please leave us a comment here or email us at karenmowen@gmail.com

A Busy Last Few Days!

Never standing still for long we were off to many local attractions we took Stanley, Alex and the cousins to one of our local Beach Parks, John Lawson Park in West Vancouver.
When we came home for lunch we had a package! I had ordered more of the series from The Book Depository, always free shipping and quite a bit less expensive then Indigo our local book store.
Alex was thrilled, Stanley looked pretty impressed as well! The books worked out to less then $5 each and no shipping!
 The next day we were off to Granville Island to show our cousins around and get some of the worlds best doughnuts, Lee's Doughnuts are hand made and amazing, they also have cinnamon buns the size of a child's head. We also saw lots of goslings who are now almost the size of their parents!
Alex woke up with a nasty summer cold and with the swimming we have been doing we had to check that the cough and sore throat with runny nose was not in need of antibiotics. Good news just a summer cold and a few days of laying low and Alex and Stanley can adventure again.
Summer haircut required though Alex was not thrilled with the spikes when the cut was through, he was very happy to have finished book two and move on to book #3!
We hope you will join us for more adventures with Stanley and Alex soon.

Happy Canada Day!

Today Flat Stanley and our family ventured out to our community Canada Day Parade. We brought out cousins from Montreal with us and had a blast, we tucked up under the tree in the shade as it is very very warm in Vancouver right now. You know Stanley had a great time meeting new people and posing for photos. Stanley and our guests were very impressed with the bands, and all the people who turned out for the parade. The 2 hour long event even had Santa Clause and A Zamboni parade on by! We love this Canada Day Tradition and we were very happy to have Stanley join us today! Up for us next in the coming days are more written activities and reading of course! It is a great way to beat the heat!
Thank you for joining us here as we spend time with Flat Stanley!
