For one of Mark's school projects, he sent us Flat Stanley. Flat Stanley is a cardboard cutout that the recipients are suppose to decorate and take on adventures, then return to the original owner.
Alex and I decorated Flat Stanley like an Air Force Officer, then he went to work with Alex.
Then, he went to work with me.
We took him hiking and a lot of other random "adventures". It is amazing how excited everyone got when we brought Flat Stanley somewhere and how quickly everyone got together to figure out the next fun picture we could take of him. We had so many pictures to send back to Mark.
When we came back to Arizona, Mark met us at the airport so he could meet Flat Stanley for the first time.
Alex and I really had fun with Flat Stanley.
We played horseshoes and boccie ball and had so much food! 
I called Tim earlier in the month and asked him if he would pick out a gun for Alex because Alex had really been wanting one. Alex was really surprised when he opened his present and really liked it. He walked around with it the rest of the night. 
All in all, it was a great party and we both enjoyed ourselves a lot!
