Joe Young Returns Home

We rec'd our monkey, Joe Young back this week. He was in good condition & brought home lots of souveneirs to boot! The journal was packed full of stuff he did with the Host Family in FL. He was able to meet Charter, the horse from the same host family, too!

They are having better weather in FL than we are, we are at a wind chill of ZERO here in VA! BRRR...

Sally is Returning Home Tomorrow!

:( Sally is leaving us tomorrow. She had a good time, I think.

We will send her back with a few surprises in the package. I hope Caylee likes them!

Bye Sally!

Received FT from FL!

We received another FT from FL. It is a horsie named Charter.

I like horses, says Josiah, the host.

Still Awaiting our FT's!

We are patiently awaiting our newest Flat Travelers to arrive!!
In the meantime, we are searching for new hints & tips to make the visits more exciting!
Here is what we have come up with on "what to do" when your FT's arrive and are ready to travel, explore, learn & create!

1. Make a Passport to send back home with your visitor or make one to send with your sent-out traveler. Here is a PDF file that has templates to print for the passports!
2. Send something fun BACK with the FT... for instance:

• postcards
  menus
  stamps
  brochures
  maps
  candy
  pencils
  bookmarks
  keychains
  stickers
  magnets
  notepads

3. Start a blog for your visiting flats and for the flats that you send out, too! It is easy & fun and it is free!

This blog is a great example! This blog has so many cool ideas, your head will spin!
