Aloha Stanley!

Stanley had an awesome time in Hawaii, I am so jealous. I would love to be soakin up the sun like he was able to do. Noelle was a wonderful host and even dressed Stanley for the occasion, he looked spiffy. Here is Stanley soakin up some sunshine at Magic Island. He was a good boy and wore sun screen but he got a little burned, he told me it was totally worth it!



Next Stanley hit up Shirokiya, his mouth watered the whole time, he had a hard time picking just one thing to try, he sampled a little of everything. He did not go hungry on this trip!


Stanley got to see many temples while visiting Noelle. His favorite was Byodo-in Temple. He learned that it was built without nails and is a replica of the temple in Uji Japan.



Stanley enjoyed the natural wildlife there, swans and all.




At Stanley's favorite temple he got his picture taken with Amida! (Golden Buddha)





He left a little burned, but had so much fun with Noelle. Stanley totally rubbed it in my face that he was at the beach and I was stuck here in Utah. His next destination...New Mexico!

Vacation with Susan!

Flat Stanley had an amazing time in Ohio and wanted me to personally mention how much of a great host Susan was!! He even got to visit the week she got married....what an honor that was! He personally attended the wedding luncheon, the food was amazing!


Flat Stanley is a kid at heart and loves the playground, Susan took him there to let out some energy. He had lots of fun!




While Susan was busy with the wedding and all the festivities, he was kept company.




Stanley got to swim with turtles, how cool is that?!





Stanley was sad to leave Susan, but he is super excited for his next stop......HAWAII!!
