Flat Stanley came to visit us at Black Diamond from Ms. H's Chicago classroom at Northpark Elementary School. 

While some people come to Florida for amusement parks in Orlando & Tampa or to see a shuttle launch at Cape Canaveral, Flat Stanley enjoyed Citrus County--called the Nature Coast of Florida....Can you find all of the places on the Florida map that Flat Stanley visited or could have visited?

Citrus County:

Lecanto (Black Diamond Ranch Golf & Country Club),

 Homosassa (Alpaca Farm, Wildlife Park & Butterfly Museum),

Crystal River (Fort Island Beach)

Flat Stanley enjoyed playing golf with Uncle Art at the famous Black Diamond Ranch Golf Course. Flat Stanley especially liked the golf holes around the quarry.

 

Flat Stanley loved swimming in the pool at Uncle Art and Aunt Linda's  Black Diamond home.

Like the Thomas family, Flat Stanley loves going to the beach to kayak, smash through the waves, watch sunsets and look for seashells.  Flat Stanley is sending us one of his favorite shells he found this year.

AND some of the best times at the beach are the football games--Green & White vs. Maze & Blue.  "Green & White prevails,"  says Uncle Art.

Flat Stanley visited the Alpaca Farm. Flat Stanley petted, kissed, fed and walked the alpacas.  Alpaca fleece is shorn, spun into yarn for knitting, crocheting and weaving.  Alpacas are shy and you approach them slowly not to scare them.  They are very curious.

 

Flat Stanley has sent everyone in the class a souvenir alpaca knit finger puppets and he also sent a warm winter scarf for the teacher Ms. Hawkinson.  Alpaca yarn in warmer than wool!

 

Flat Stanley visited the Homosassa Butterfly Museum. Flat Stanley saw many caterpillars & butterflies.Flat Stanley is sending the class-special mail-a Monarch caterpillar so they can see a Monarch butterfly hatch.

At the Homosassa Wildlife Park, Flat Stanley saw lots of Florida wildlife-birds and animals but the special residents there are the manatees-sea cows.  The alligators were huge!  People even snorkel with the Manatee!

We had a great visit with Flat Stanley and hope he will come to Black Diamond again!
