Flat Stanley Travels to Texas

Hello Third Graders at Jarabacoa Christian School,

We are the Gaspard Family and we live in Lake Jackson, Texas, USA. Allie Sawyer is our (Uncle David and Aunt Kim) niece and cousin to Taylor, Ashley and Samantha. Endy Ramon's Flat Stanley arrived at our home March 2 as we were leaving to go out of town to a dance competition in San Antonio, Texas. It was a treat to have Flat Stanley travel with us. Stanley visited the Alamo and the Alamodome where the dance and cheerleading competiton was held.

Flat Stanley at the Alamo

                        A little bit of History
In 1836 Texas went to war with Mexico for Texas's Independence. An important battle took place at a mission called the Alamo. Texas joined the United States in 1845. Flat Stanley stood at the Alamo where the battle took place many years ago.

San Antonio is a meeting spot for many businesses and family vacations. There is a riverwalk with shops and restaurants. There are many shopping malls and a Sea World.
Allie's cousin, Taylor, is holding Stanley in front of the Alamo.

Stanley is also seen with the Tower of the Americas in the background. The tower is 750 feet tall. The top of the tower houses a revolving restaurant, lounge, and outdoor observation deck.

Flat Stanley dined with us at Salt Grass Steak House and Budreaux's and he also went shopping at the Rivercenter Mall.

Stanley is now in Lake Jackson, Texas with us and we will blog again in a few days. He is currently playing with Otis (pug), Charlie (mix), and Elli (Austrailian Cattle Dog). 

Stanley said to tell all of you that he misses you and might come visit you soon!
