Dear Boys and Girls of Veribest Elementary 2nd Grade,
I had a wonderful trip to Magnolia, Texas to see friends of Abbi Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. Parker. Magnolia is different from the San Angelo area because it has lots of big tall pine and oak trees and small rolling hills. There are lots of creeks too. The Parkers have a pond that has catfish and brim fish in it that boys and girls like to catch. Here is a picture of Mr. Parker and his grandson with a 5 pound catfish that they caught.

Mr. and Mrs. Parker decided to take a bus trip to a town called Branson, Missouri with a group of their friends. It was fun. I got to sit in my own seat. There is a photo of me with Mrs. Parker too. Then there is a photo of Mr. Dennis, our leader, and our bus driver. We checked into a big hotel where I met a nice friendly lady at the front desk. I also looked at tree there whose leaves had turned to red.
Branson is famous for all of the musical shows that are there. We saw four different ones—Twelve Irish Tenors (men who sang), Dino who played the piano, The Hughes Brothers and their families including 24 children and Pierce Arrow, a group of five men who sang and one very funny man who told jokes and stories. We also went to a place called Branson Landing where I got to ride on a huge silver deer.
Then we drove home in the bus through the states of Missouri, Arkansas and Texas. We drove through the Ozark Mountains where there are lots of farms. Since it was the fall season, we saw lots of beautiful trees with their leaves colored red and yellow.
I had fun and I hope that some of you will get to go to Branson someday.
Love from your friend,
Flat Stanley
