My name is Stanley. I would like to thank the Editor for allowing me to write and post on his amazingly wonderful blog. It truly is the cutest, funniest blog I have ever read! I am definitely a subscriber now!
I was sent to Wilmington, NC by Ella McIlwain and her class in Tampa, FL. Thank you Ella and Ms Anton for allowing me to come and experience southeastern North Carolina.
As you can see from the map, it is a fair distance from Tampa. When I arrived, I was greeted warmly by the elder sister, Kemper. She was very excited to see me, and took me everywhere. She even let me play with her twin siblings, Mila and Court. They were lots of fun too. We did lots of things around their house, including read, color, play games and go for walks.
Hamilton the dog liked me too... I think!
Wilmington is pretty close to the beach, so we could have gone any time. However, it was too cold and windy for most of the time I was here. Plus, I'm paper, so I don't think it is a good idea I got wet!
Being close to the water, Wilmington is a pretty nice little town. Lots of people come here to visit, and be tourists. It is one of the major shipping ports in NC, so there are lots of boats. We went downtown once, where the Cape Fear river runs through downtown. It was nice to see the boats and all the people.
I got to pile into the Yarnoz' minivan, which is the main mode of transportation for all of these crazy kids! Since they are so close in age, they all have to have carseats! Do you guys have to sit in carseats too?
This time of year here in Wilmington is really pretty. All the trees and flowers wake up and are super pretty. Wilmington has a big festival every year to celebrate this. It is called the Azalea festival! I got to see that too.
(Unfortunately, the Yarnoz' forgot to bring their camera with us to take photos. It seems it is hard enough to not forget the kids themselves!!!)
Well I'm having so much fun here, I can't stand it... I am not sure I can come back!
Take Care,
Stanley
