Flat Nick

Have you ever heard of the story about Flat Stanley? It's a wonderful story about a boy who is flattened in his sleep and travels around the world because he is flat. He can fit into small places, go under closed doors, and through the mail. Since he can go through the mail, many classes take the opportunity to send a version of their Flat Stanley all over the world and hopefully have it returned to his original destination by a certain date.

On Friday, I received in the mail Flat Nick from my cousin. Flat Nick has travelled around the US and landed in my mailbox. My mission was to show Flat Nick around my town. How exciting! So here is my journey with Flat Nick. I had to do errands and since he was an unexpected visitor, I took him along! :)

Here is Flat Nick.



First we had to stop at the post office to mail off our taxes! (We did them early!! :) )




Then we went for a lunch date with KT. It was so good to catch up with her, but I'm sure Flat Nick was bored. (side note...she's pregnant!!!) Flat Nick did enjoy the food though!



Next we went to Rita's! Rita's always gives out a free water ice on the first day of spring so KT and I had to take advantage of that! It was delicious. Flat Nick really enjoyed tasting a couple bites of my mango water ice!


After our lunch date, we headed to Target for some grocery shopping. Flat Nick helped me choose some delicious meals for the week. When we were on our way home, he insisted on a picture of our trip to Target...but then he buckled up.



Flat Nick...Thank you for coming along with me today! I had a great day with you!
