Carter's class is participating in the Flat Stanley Project. (Flat Stanly is a children's literature character who is smooshed by a bulletin board. The cool thing about being flattened is that he can travel through the mail. The class made their own "Flat Stanley" and created a journal. They wrote things about their family and where they lived and were ask to take their Flat Stanley on an outing and take a picture. The Stanleys will be mailed to various points across the US and Canada and may even visit former President Jimmy Carter! Since it is a geography lesson of sorts, we decided to take Carter & Stanley to the highest point in Alabama. Here are some pictures...
We have had a raccoon family visiting for the past few days. We have only seen the male once, but the mom and two babies are coming so often that we named them...Coonie, Itsy and Bitz. They come because we feed a "neighborhood cat" on our deck and they help him clean his bowl. The cat was popping the little raccoons in the nose, so the mom came up with a better plan!
