STANLEY ARRIVED AT OUR HOME IN ARIZONA ABOUT 11:30 A.M. WE WERE SO EXCITED. WE BROUGHT THE ENVELOPE STRAIGHT IN THE HOUSE AND OPENED HIM UP IMMEDIATELY. OF COURSE STANLEY REALLY NEEDED TO STRETCH OUT A BIT.
BLAISE I REALLY LIKE THE WAY YOU COLORED STANLEY, HIS TONY HAWK SHIRT IS AWESOME.
THE WEATHER WAS ABOUT 79 DEGREES AND MOSTLY SUNNY WHEN STANLEY ARRIVED. WE WERE CURIOUS WHAT THE WEATHER WAS LIKE BACK IN LAYTON UTAH, SO WE LOOKED IT UP ON THE COMPUTER. IT WAS 59 DEGREES AND PARTLY CLOUDY.
WE SHOWED STANLEY AROUND OUR PLACE, THEN WE ALL SAID WE WERE HUNGRY. SO WE WENT TO WENDY'S FOR LUNCH. IT WAS SUCH A NICE WARM DAY, JUST PERFECT FOR A FROSTY. STANLEY THOUGHT THAT WAS A WONDERFUL IDEA.
AFTER LUNCH WE WENT FOR A WALK. STANLEY GOT TO SEE A COYOTE, A CUTE LITTLE FAMILY OF QUAIL, THE MOM, DAD AND SIX TINY BABIES. A ROAD RUNNER CROSSED THE ROAD IN FRONT OF US AND WE WATCHED THREE BUNNIES PLAYING TAG IN THE FIELD ACROSS FROM OUR HOUSE. THIS WAS ALL SO EXCITING FOR STANLEY.
WE TOLD STANLEY THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHEN PLAYING OUTSIDE AND WATCH OUT FOR RATTLE SNAKES AND SCORPIONS. WE HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE RATTLE SNAKE SINCE WE LIVED HERE IT WAS IN OUR NEIGHBORS YARD. WE HAVE FOUND FOUR SCORPIONS IN OUR HOUSE, YUCK!
AFTER DINNER WE WENT FOR A BIKE RIDE AROUND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. LATER THAT EVENING WE WERE SITTING OUT ON THE FRONT PORCH STAR GAZING, AND LISTENING TO THE COYOTES HOWL, WHEN STANLEY SUDDENLY SMELLED A HORRIBLE SMELL, WE TOLD HIM THAT WAS A SKUNK, SO WE ALL DECIDED TO GO BACK INTO THE HOUSE FOR THE NIGHT.
WE CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW, WE ARE GOING TO TAKE STANLEY OUT IN OUR BOAT AND SPEND THE DAY ON THE COLORADO RIVER WHICH IS ONLY A FEW MILES AWAY FROM OUR HOUSE.

i'll have Blaise read this when he gets home. You are great!
This is from Blaise:
sounds like it was fun. Did Stanley get too hot? Was Stanley scared when you told him about the rattle snake? Thanks for having fun with Stanley, I wish I was there too. I love you.
BLAISE,
STANLEY DOES THINK IT IS HOT, BUT HE IS ALSO EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO WEAR SHORTS AND BE OUTSIDE AND PLAY. I THINK STANLEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT SCARED ABOUT RATTLE SNAKES BUT HE WANTED TO BE BRAVE.
WE WILL HAVE TO GO AND DO SOME OF THESE FUN THINGS WITH YOU NEXT TIME YOU COME DOWN FOR A VISIT.
LOVE YOU,
BAPA & BAMA
Wow, Stanley had quite a full day. Sounds like he's going to have a blast in Arizona. This is such a cute idea.
