Flat Stanley Updates

To read about how we started our Flat Stanleys begin here: http://jennbeeler.blogspot.com/search/label/Flat%20Stanley

Natalee's Flat Stanley left Missouri and started in New York:
then traveled to Nevada:
and then to Florida:
After Florida, he came home for a week and we've sent him out to Tennessee.  He's going to the Grand 'Ole Opry this weekend with my high school friend, Emily!  Natalee's anxiously awaiting pics.

Xavier's Flat Stanley went from Missouri to North Dakota:
then to Iowa:
to Hawaii:
to Minnesota:
then Massachusetts:
and then to Texas:
He is on his way to South Dakota.

The glorious part of this project has been that I don't have to think of someone in all 50 states...these kind people, many complete strangers to us, have sent our Stanleys around the states.  We've dealt with a couple time changes (I received a text at 3 a.m. and probably sent one to the person at a likewise terrible hour on her end), and have had some lags in time with holidays and bad weather, but overall I'm very pleased with how the project is going.  The children are tracking the Stanleys on maps - they color in the state each time we get a text or email.
