Flat Shaun

I am forever indebted to Rob and Jennifer for the amazing adventure that they took flat Shaun on! Not only did he get an A+ I ran into his teacher yesterday and she's still talking about it and wants to know if Rob and Jennifer will take her on an adventure? Thanks Rob and Jenn, you're the BEST!


This is Shaun's written report that he presented to the class:

Flat Shaun got to do more stuff than most people get to do in their whole lives. I mailed flat Shaun to my mom's cousin Rob who lives in New Hampshire. Rob is kind of a thrill seeker and used flat Shaun as an excuse to do lots of stuff. Here are some of the things they did...

He went to the Intergalactic Cardboard Sled Race at Mount Sunapee and went skiing. He jumped super high on Rob's skis.

They went skydiving at Jump Town in Orange Massachusetts. Flat Shaun jumped from 9,000 feet and got to do flips, spins, and barrel rolls the whole way down.

He went SCUBA diving in Rockport, MA and got to wear his own air tank and swim with the fish.

He walked along the Freedom Trail in Boston and then drove to Maryland. They stopped by Liberty Park in New Jersey to take pictures with the Statue of Liberty.

They drove to Washington D.C. and went to the Smithsonian of U.S. History, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol Building, and the White House. He didn't get to meet President Obama though.

When they got to Baltimore Maryland they went to the Hard Rock Cafe' to eat and to the National Aquarium in Baltimore. A shark almost ate flat Shaun at the Aquarium. They also visited the USS Constellation which is a really old ship.

On his trip flat Shaun also got to go horseback riding, drove on a motorcycle, and rode in Rob's super fast red corvette. I think they might have gone too fast because flat Shaun got to help a policeman arrest Rob.

He had a good time with Rob and I'm going to visit Rob, Jennifer, and their new baby Jimmy this summer. I hope I can do some of these fun things with him someday too. Rob has already taught me how to SCUBA in the pool

"Flat Shaun" is a great idea. I suspect Shaun had a lot of fun with one as he told his story.
