Flat Stanley began his trip to Nebraska as if it were any other day. He had his picture taken which was a real eye-opener. Stanley learned that having a picture taken at 7:00 AM is not so easy even with a good night's sleep.At Cracker Barrel in Illinois, after sleeping in a very awkward half-folded position, it seemed that all "Flats" was up for was a light lunch and some time in one of their rocking chairs, observing the folks and chewing on straw. Unfortunately that straw was from a nearby rocker. "Flats" and Rana had no choice but to make a quick getaway...
Along the way to Iowa the dynamic duo surely seemed to travel around the world. They passed towns such as Marseilles, Peru and even Newton.There were also many other towns with Native American names. Flat Stanley and Rana had fun trying to pronounce these words. One such town called Wauseon, Ohio is actually pronounced (WAW-see-ahn) according to the locals when asked.Finally, Stanley insisted on some much needed playground time right after crossing the Mississippi River.
OMG No fair you went to a playground.
