Flat Stanley Visits Las Vegas - Part 1

Today we received in the mail "Flat Stanley" (shortened to Stanley) from our youngest grandson in Utah. Stanley is making a whirlwind world tour beginning in Las Vegas. On this first afternoon of his arrival it was too late to get out and see the sites. I think Stanley is too young to do the strip, but we will discover that later.

Today he focused his efforts on getting to know some of the local cacti (that's plural for more than one cactus). The following photos show Stanley's efforts to get to know the family and not to get stuck with the cactus and yet to try to make friends with them.

Grandma introduces Stanley to our African tree.

Stanley was anxious to meet Whisper, but we though a window in between might keep Stanley from being mauled.

Ohhhh, don't try to ride the cactus!

Careful where you walk...

You can't climb a cactus like a tree - too many spines.

Finally, something that doesn't stick me!

Stanley was exhausted after his long trip from Utah and all that walking in the garden. He is sleepng, and thankfully not snoring. Keep watch, there will be more news from Stanley.
