= Flat Stanley Cheers on the Union (Almost) = = and Takes a Sunny, Caribbean Vacation = = by Brian Gillespie  =
 * Flat Stanley started his weekend with a trip to PPL Park in Chester, PA.

He had a lot of fun tailgating with friends before going into the park. || || Unfortunately, Flat Stanley never made it into PPL Park.

It was a very cold, wet, windy day, and Flat Stanley fell (blew) into a cold puddle.

Flat Stanley had to go home to change his soggy clothes.

But he did get to watch the Union match on TV. ||


 * Although he had to watch it on TV, Flat Stanley was excited because the Union won the match.

But Flat Stanley was still a little sad he didn't go into PPL Park.

Flat Stanley's weekend did improve, though.

He learned that he would be going to St. Maarten. || || ﻿ Flat Stanley jumps for joy as he waits for his plane at Philadelphia International Airport.

His passport was checked and he would not put down that boarding pass.

He found a comfortable chair on a warm, breezy balcony with a beautiful view of palm trees and the beach.

Then, after a long day of travel, he kicked back on the bed and watched a little TV before resting up for a day by the pool. || ||
