Pflugerville, Texas

Stanley had the privilege to visit Jaleesa's Aunt Sheri in Pflugerville, Texas.  How in the world do you say that, you wonder?  Thankfully, Aunt Sheri told us the 'P' is silent, so it is pronounced 'flu-ger-ville', which is pretty simple!  Pflugerville is about 14 miles northeast from downtown Austin.  The 2000 census reported that there were roughly 20,000 people living in Pflugerville.  In recent years, the population has nearly doubled!  It is estimated that now about 50,000 people live in Pflugerville!  

Stanley arrived on October 10th.  (*Sorry for the delay in posting, so many Flat Stanley's came home at once, and on top of teaching, it has been hard to catch up!!)  The weather was sunny and about 90°!  Some fun things to do in the area are to go to parks, malls, outlets, tour the Capitol building, see the entire city from the University of Texas, and to go swimming in one of the many outdoor pools!  Stanley had a great time in Texas.  He even got to travel to Los Angeles with the family.  Unfortunately, it was a busy trip, and things got even busier when they returned home.  

Flat Stanley got to ride on a Sesame Street car with Elmo and Jaleesa's baby cousin!  

Flat Stanley got to go with Aunt Sheri to get the oil changed in the car!  Maybe Stanley will grow up to be a mechanic?  While they were waiting for the car to be finished, Flat Stanley helped Aunt Sheri brainstorm for Christmas!  

Stanley even got to visit Jaleesa's older cousin's middle school.  Stanley got to wave to all the teens!  He's not ready for Middle School yet, but he thought it was neat!  

Stanley didn't get tons of pictures while with the Conners, but he did have a wonderful time!  He felt right at home with them!  Thank you for taking such great care of Stanley & participating in our project!
