Dear Veribest Second Grade:
Thank you for thinking of us to send Flat Stanley to visit. We believe he had a very good time. Conner and Alex were very excited to have a visitor.
The first thing they wanted to show Flat Stanley was their soccer game at the nearby Army Post, Schofield Barracks. They played a tough game and had a lot of fun,
Next the boys thought Flat Stanley would have a great time at Hanauma Bay. It is a really neat place to go snorkeling, and you see so many different types of fish, turtles, sea urchins, and so much more. Actually, Flat Stanley was mistaken for a sea turtle by one of the sharks that bit his arm. Once the shark realized it was Flat Stanley, he let go, but Flat Stanley needed a few stitches to put his arm back on his body. Flat Stanley then decided to lounge on the beach, but he was always reminded to reapply his sunscreen. He even had a little fun taking some pictures near the Palm Trees.
After Hanauma Bay, we enjoyed the beautiful views of Kokohead Crater, which is the remains of the last active volcano on Oahu approximately 10,000 years ago. There is also a nice picture of town, and the beautiful sunset with Diamond Head Crater in the background (Alex and Conner have already hiked to the top of Diamond Head, which included nearly 300 stairs). Then we had some really good Mochi Ice Cream Balls, which is a Japanese dessert, at a nearby ice cream parlor.
The next day, we showed Flat Stanley around Hickam Air Force Base. We stopped to take a few pictures near the jets and one near a very fragrant Plumeria tree. Plumerias are also used to make leis. Next we went to Pearl Harbor, which is connected to Hickam Air Force Base. We took a picture near one Japanese ship visiting the port, and also one American ship.
On Flat Stanley’s last day, Conner and Alex wanted to take a picture of Flat Stanley with their classes at Mililani ‘Ike Elementary.
Thank you, again, for letting Flat Stanley come to Hawaii to visit us. We had a lot of fun with him.
Your Friends,
Conner & Alex Osborne
