Alex and Stella at Tregembo Animal Park

Stella spent a week or so with the Santhuff family, guest of Alex Santhuff from Ms. Brown's fourth grade class (spring 2010).

One of the highlights of the visit was a trip to Tregembo Animal Park in Wilmington (near Monkey Junction), where Stella got to meet a white tiger, a lion, some prairie dogs, capyburas and many other animals. Her favorite was a peacock who spread its feathers in search of a mate!

Me and Stacy went to Chankanaab state park and had a dolphin encounter. We also saw some Mayanruins and a sea lion show.

It was a hair raising adventure. Out of all the fun we had, I think Stan Junior's legs hurt at the end. But, he said it was the most fun he has had in a while. So if you want to take Stan Junior somewhere make sure you take him where he will have a hair raising experience! Jessica , oh yeah and her sister Alexis too.

Olivia and Stan Stingray at the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher

Stan Jr. chilled most of the weekend, then went on a "field trip" on Monday. Stan Jr. and I had a blast at Ft. Fisher Aquarium on Martin Luther King Day. We went with my brother and mom. We saw sharks, fish, crabs, seahorses, horseshoe crabs, jellyfish, and stingrays. We took many pictures together and Stan liked them all. My mom's favorite part was when we got in free, and Stan liked it too. I liked spending time with Stan Jr.!

Me and Stan had a great time at basketball. He watched us play our scrimmage. He cheered us on as him and my Mom sat on the bleachers. Then he had his picture taken with my team. Then we left and Stan and I went to Walgreens to pick up some chapstick because my Mom’s lips were chapped. Then we dropped off my best friend, Sailor at her house. She is on my basketball team, the Lady monarchs! Finally we were home. I took a shower and I went to bed!

The next day I went to school and Stan stayed home with my Mom and my little brother Banks. The y went to the grocery store and picked up some yogurt and milk. Stan stayed in the car while Mom and Banks went in. They left and got the car washed. Then when they came home, me and my brother Bodie got home from school. My Mom helped me with my homework. Now I am bringing Stan back to Ogden Elementary School Library.
