Flat Stanley's adventures in Colorado

Amanda Salmond gave us a little task to do for a friend of hers who teaches a 2nd grade class in St. Louis. They mailed us a "Flat Stanley" (a character from a book they read who got flattened by his bulletin board) and we were supposed to take him on an adventure or two in our state and take a couple of pictures. Then we sent back the pictures, along with a brief description of Flat Stanley's adventures in Colorado, and the class learns a little something about US geography. What we sent back is below. I can't include the pictures (technological issues). Sorry.

After arriving by mail in Denver, Colorado, Flat Stanley had to get moving quickly. He was performing in a concert that night, and he didn't want to be late. So he darted out the door and traveled to one of the world's best outdoor concert venues, the amphitheatre at Red Rocks Park in Morrison, Colorado. Every year the open-air amphitheatre attracts dozens of music's most popular acts... and that's why Flat Stanley wanted to perform there!

After his concert, Flat Stanley needed to wind down a bit, so he headed to Evergreen, Colorado to do some ice-skating with his friends. They played a game of ice hockey, and Flat Stanley's team won 3-2!

Flat Stanley said he couldn't wait for his next trip to Colorado so he can spend even more time in the Rocky Mountains.
