Hi! I arrived in Virginia on
May 4. It sure felt good to get out of
that envelope and stretch my arms and legs.
Shortly after I arrived, we got in the car and rode out into the country
to a farm. We stayed there for several
days. I had lots of fun! I got to help do some work.

| Look at me in this great big tree! |
 | |
| I helped plant some pretty flowers! |
 |
| One day I went to the dentist. I got to ride on Dr. Meade’s toy airplane. |
 | |
| Then Mr. Tim cleaned and checked my teeth. No cavities! Great job, Flat Stanley! |
 |
| I got to help with the mowing. There was a lot of mowing to do there! |
 | |
| Afterward I had a rest time in the hammock. |
 |
| I helped Mr. Arnold reach the high spots. We fixed the fan and painted the posts on the back porch. |
 |
| Then we had peanuts for a snack. Lots of peanuts are grown in Virginia. People used to grow peanuts at this farm. Did you know peanuts grow underground just like potatoes? |
 |
| It’s strawberry picking time in Virginia. Yummy. I have had lots of fun in Virginia. It has been warm and sunny here. I am glad I wore shorts. Did you know Virginia is on the Atlantic Ocean? There are mountains in Virginia too. There is lots of history around here. The last battles of the Civil War 150 years ago were fought right around this farm. The soldiers from Maine with General Joshua Chamberlain camped about a mile from here. Now I am ready to come home to Maine. |
