Kylie Giblins Flat Stanley has been travelling the country. Here is what I received.
Stanley arrived safely in Fort Collins, Colorado! Here are some facts about Fort Collins:
-Fort Collins is home to Colorado State University.
-Fort Collins is near the Rocky Mountains and has the Poudre River running through it.
-The city is 5,000 feet above sea level.
-Fort Collins has over 300 days of sunshine.
-Fort Collins has over 20 hand painted pianos that sit around town for people to play.
-Fort Collins inspired the design of Main Street, USA at Disneyland and Disney World.
-Fort Collins is very bike friendly and the city has over 280 miles of bike trails, lanes and paths.
-Fort Collins has a 6.5 mile reservoir called Horsetooth Reservoir, where people love to boat, fish, kayak and swim.
-Fort Collins is 555 miles from Mitchell.
Even though we get a lot of sunny days here in Fort Collins, we also had a lot of snow! (You can see all of the snow in our backyard in one of the photos.) As we were ready to send Stanley back to Mitchell, he begged us to not mail him back to snowy and cold South Dakota. He knew that our family was headed to the beach for Spring Break!
Stanley was so well behaved on his stay with our family, that we agreed he could travel with us to the South. (I mean he didn’t take up much space in our luggage!) We folded him up and tucked him in a backpack and he flew on an airplane with us!
Stanley was lucky enough to visit several cities and beaches in Georgia and South Carolina.
Stanley took pictures at two of his favorite spots and they were both islands. The first was Tybee Island in Georgia. In this picture you can see the pier behind him. A pier is like a really long and large dock that extends out over the ocean. Stanley enjoyed walking out onto the pier and looking down at the ocean below. Stanley also loved his stop at the Isle of Palms in South Carolina. He liked looking at the many palm trees that were growing on this island! Stanley liked playing in the sand on the beach, eating pizza and riding in a golf cart around the small town!

We learned about static electricity doing experiments with the Van de Graaff generator and human made electricity with a bicycle and generator.
Interesting brain science lesson in Guidance today. How much sleep do your learners get? A lack of sleep is tied to an increased loss of impulse control. A lack of sleep and a lack of quality nutrition can have the same effect! #GBR🏹 #TiredAndHangry

Flat Gordon went to visit his Aunt in Southern California. He sure has had many wonderful travels on his journey. Here is what his Aunt Briana reported
Today I decided to take Flat Gordon to the Santa Monica Pier.
It was a very windy day - so I'm holding on to his little arms for dear life!
The famous Santa Monica Pier is in the background, and we are overlooking the Pacific Coast Highway!
No trip to the California coast would be complete without a dip in the Pacific Ocean - so that was next.
I put on Flat Gordon's wetsuit and in we went.
I'm happy to report that he is a very good swimmer.
And then, of course, we had to show off the most iconic Los Angeles landmark - The Hollywood Sign!Flat Gordon was all smiles here too - I think he enjoyed it.
Thanks for letting me participate in this challenge, and Good Luck to Flat Gordon on his next adventure!
Sincerely,
Briana Heine
Gordon Bainbridge's Aunt from SoCal.
