Hi Jacob!
Thank you so much for sending Flat
Stanley to me! We had so much fun together. I love living in Arkansas, and
there are so many fun things here! I took you to some of my favorite places
that you will only find in Arkansas!
We started out at the Walmart Corporate
Headquarters where my Dad works! Walmart began over 50 years ago here in
Bentonville, AR.
We also visited the Walmart Visitors
Center. This store behind me is the first store that Sam Walton owned. He was
the founder of Walmart. Do you remember when you visited this place with us
when you came to Arkansas?
Next we went to Crystal Bridges Museum.
This is a really famous museum where we live. It is full of American art that
you will learn about in school someday. Stanley loved the silver tree statue in
the front. I like the statues that I can climb on.
There is a cool statue outside of Crystal
Bridges right now. It’s called “Making Hay.” There are three HUGE statues made
out of hay, and they look like people working in a hay field. Pretty cool!
We also stopped for a snack. This drink
is as big as Stanley!
It wouldn’t be a trip to Arkansas if we
didn’t visit the HOME OF THE RAZORBACKS!
We went down to Fayetteville to visit the
University of Arkansas. The Bud Walton Arena is behind me. This is where the
Razorbacks play basketball!
This is where the track team practices!
They have won 42 NCAA championships in the last 30 years. That’s amazing!
This is where the Razorbacks play
FOOTBALL! We love watching the Razorbacks! I like to call the hogs and throw my
football at my Dad while he is trying to watch them on TV.
We also made a stop in Rogers, AR where
we visited the Daisy Air Gun Museum. Rogers is where we live, and it’s where
Daisy Air guns are made!
We live in something called “The Bible
Belt” where there are lots of churches everywhere! These crosses are next to a
church by my house. They are over 75 feet tall!
The food in Arkansas is AMAZING. Stanley
decided to try some okra. I really don’t like okra, but Stanley loved it!
Flat Stanley had so much fun with us!
Thanks for sending him to me. We hope you can come visit Arkansas soon, too!
Love, Cousin Blake
