Flat Stanley has another "morph" ... Flat Ranger. Kids can send their Flat Ranger to National Parks and they get all kinds of cool stuff back, free of charge. And the parks with really good rangers will take the Flat Ranger around the park and take pictures with it and send those as well.
So does everyone know about "Flat Stanley"? Well a few years ago I had to help my niece with Flat Stanley. So, I thought to myself, gee, I think I will make all my kids a Flat "Mom and Dad". That way we can be with them all the time and go where ever they go. Well, ever since then, we travel everywhere with our children! DH and I went to China this week! To the great wall of China with our DD! See the wall in the background? We have been to Ireland, London, Japan, and many many other places! We even went into the surgery room with DD when we couldn't really be there! A nurse took a photo of my DD on the operating table with flat MOM and DAD by her side!!!! I love that our kids (all grown up) take us with them. Last year we went on Safari (the Picture kind) in Africa with one of our daughters. We had our picture taken with the elephants and lions! It always tickles my heart when our kids send us pics of us 'with' them. Once, my DD called to say she heard her kids (our grandkids) asking Grandpa (DH) if he wanted to buy that property. Wanting to know what was going on, she peeked around the corner to find Flat MOM and DAD playing monopoly with the grandkids! Precious!
I thought there was a specific time they switched to the summer blend. Like May 1 or something.
I think they are just messing with us!
I had kind of heard about it, but hadn't realized it was this weekend.
Oh, and I read about one in Calhoun the last weekend of the month. Is that a thing?
