FLAT JORDAN & JACKSONViLLE!

Sorry I haven't been able to post the holidays kept me really busy with all the traveling I did. For everyone that was so patience with wondering who Flat Jordan is now I can finally tell the story! Two months ago my Aunt Cindy called me and asked if I have ever heard of Flat Stanley and if I would volunteer to help my cousin Jordan with his school project. Of course I wanted to do whatever it was to help but I had no Idea who Flat Stanley was! She tried explaining it to me but I was still a little confused by what I was supposed to be doing. I got online and researched & called her back to tell her I'd love to help! I will so my best to explain the story. Jordan's teacher was doing a project where the kids in the class color & cut out a drawing of themselves. This little character of themselves had been smashed flat and that's why its called Flat & then the name of the student. Each kid in the class was assigned to pick 3 friends or family members that lived out of the state where they are from (Ohio), to have Flat Jordan travel around from state to state. He was sent to my mom in Indiana & myself in Florida and another friend in Florida. When Flat Jordan arrived we did lots of things while he was here. I took him to see the Destin Christmas Tree & he helped me do my shopping. He also was lucky to travel with me to Jacksonville to see my Dad for 3 days. We did a lot of activities together while he was with me for 2 weeks. I thought it was a great idea for kids do with as a class. When I had to send him back to my cousins school everyone had a great time reading about all of our adventures & the pictures.

When I was in Jacksonville I had a great time seeing my Dad. It had been way to long since the last time I saw him. He was there for a work meeting so we didn't get to spend as much time as I liked together but the little time we did was great! Everyone couldn't believe that I drove 5 hours for 2 1/2 days but to see any one of my parents I wouldn't miss it for the world! Thanks for everything Dad & the wonderful time I had spending with you & meeting a lot of important people in your life. Love You!

I only have a few pictures left of Flat Jordan on my camera some got deleted by mistake and unfortunately I only took one picture with my Dad =( Of course I took some pictures of myself on the drive to Jacksonville since it was a long & boring drive by myself!

I totally know what Flat Stanley is! You just confused me by calling it Flat Jordan! I have that book at home and I am surprised that you had never heard of him! Looks like Fla Jordan had fun in Florida, but I bet he would have had more fun at the beach than at the hospital!

Well like I said unfortunately those where the only pics I had left on my camera. He helped me bake for Daniela's birthday & we did a lot of fun things in Jacksonville. We went to M&M world there & lots of other neat places I just don't have the pics anymore =( Well hes called Flat Jordan because of that's my cousins name. When my mom had him it was funny because it was when she was visiting me for Thanksgiving so he was at my house twice! haha
