we are going to papas hows today
3.
See the train tracks? They tell us that we are almost to the farm. Papa lives out in the county in a little town called Shattuc. It is about 100 miles east of St. Louis and only 300 people live there!

Here we are standing with Dad and Blake on the big oil pump. The pump operates on a timer which turns it on & off.

Audrey rode on the Gator with us to Papa's pond. It is way too
cold to swim today!

We spent time talking about how there are train tracks marked on the map too. Can you see them?
What a great day at Papa's farm!

my stanley
Stanley ate lunch over the highway in Oklahoma on our way
to Texas.
Stanley ate dinner with us in Meers Oklahoma. A very
small community.
Stanley rode a horse on the ranch that we stayed at in
Kerrville, Texas. It is mostly country living.
Stanley played on a lot of rocks. In Texas, the yards
have mostly rocks instead of grass.
Stanley was able to feed the deer in the yard! There are
many animals that live on this ranch, which makes it very different than most
city communities. Some animals that live on this ranch are horses, cows, pigs,
turkeys and more.
Stanley found a neighbor with his name! Since this community is so small, many people
have their names by their mailboxes.
Texas may be a very large state in the United States, but
Kerville is pretty small. One of the main things people do is go hiking like us
in this picture.
Since Kerrville, Texas is a 14 hour drive from our house,
we stopped at a water park on the way home with Stanley.
The most interesting thing about this community to
Stanley was how many rocks there were. People in Kerrville, Texas don't
normally have basements because it is not easy or cheap to dig into rock!

corbin's trip to detroit.
We wondered: How long is the bridge to Canada in Detroit?
1.4 miles or 7500 feet
When we were looking for information on the bridge to Canada, we found a video series about how they built the bridge from 1927-1929. We noticed several things...
They knocked down houses to build the bridge. They used the parts of houses to build other things.
They used foot bridges on the top of the bridge that were held on by ropes.
They put two metal things in the ground to hold the bridge up.
They pulled the wires up from the bottom of the river to put them over the top.
They used giant girders that look like rails to build the bridge.
this is the bridge to Canada.
there is a smoke stack in the backround.
We spent a lot of time looking at the map of Detroit. We found the bridge to Canada...and we found the tunnel to Canada too.
Then we were curious about the blue space. We knew it was water, but what kind of water was it? Ocean water? So we zoomed out and learned that it was a lake...a really big lake.
We were also curious about the black line through the middle of the picture. As we zoomed out, we figured out that the black line separates the United States from Canada.

Flat Stanley goes to Sun City Arizona
FLATSTANLEY
Stanley had lots of fun but was glad to come back home.
Two great questions.. First, I guess too many older folks forgot how
much fun it is to be around younger people. I hope I never get
there. Maybe the older folks like to sleep a lot and the younger kids
keep them awake!! Second, Sun City is on mountain time, I think, but they
never change their clocks I'm the fall and in the spring. So at this time
of year, if it is 6:00 in Missouri, it is 5:00 in Sun City.
I hope this helps and we REALLY enjoyed Flat Stanley's cpmpany
We are Brody's paternal grandparents. Our names
are Papa and Nene Tesar. We had the pleasure of taking Stanley to Sun
City Arizona for a week. It was his first time flying on an airplane
which was very exciting for him. We flew from Peoria Illinois to Sun City
Arizona which is about 1,600 miles away. It took 2 ½ hours to get there
by plane. If you drove there it would take 2 ½ to 3 days of boring
driving time.
There are about 40,000 people who live in Sun City. It
is a community in which the full time residents must be at least 55 year old in
order to live there.
In surrounding areas Spring Training is held for many major
league baseball teams . Among them are the Chicago Cubs and the San Diego
Padres. You have to go to Florida in the spring if you want to watch the
Cardinals.
There are also a lot of golf courses in the area.
While Stanley was there he played golf and gave a friend of Papa’s a golf
lesson or two…….. Stanley shot a 79 for 18 holes which is 7 shots over “par”….
Way to go Stanley!!!!
He also was lucky enough to go to Brody’s cousin’s (Knox
Tesar’s) 1st birthday party. He met a lot of nice kids
there. He also got to hug a pomegranate that was hanging on a tree in the
back yard. Brody’s great-aunt Beckie held him up real high so he could reach
it! There are lots of pomegranates in Arizona but not in Missouri.
This is My Grapols fred holding Flat Stanley
This is soomboey hoding FLATSTANLEY
We had a few questions to ask Brody's grandpa, so we sent him an email.
Dear Mr. Tesar,
Thank you for taking Flat Stanley to Sun City. We had a couple of questions about your email. We were wondering…
Why are only 55+ year olds able to live in Sun City?
Is the time in Sun City, Arizona different from the time in Missouri?
From,
Miss Winter’s First Grade Friends
I hope this helps and we REALLY enjoyed Flat Stanley's cpmpany
