Winter Break: Hudson's Adventures With Flat Stanley

Hello blog readers. It's been a while since you've heard from me. I've been out of reach, on a month-long sledding journey with my sled partner, Flat Stanley.

The journey started at Grandma D's house, where she packed us some rations -- Cheerios, sliced bananas, organic whole milk in a bottle, and a couple of sippy cups full of H2O -- before we set off for our journey across the arctic tundra.


This was my first big sled trip, so Flat Stan navigated, while I steered tough curves like the one in this picture (left). Flat Stan said he was glad I came along because he has trouble putting his body into big turns like this... he's flat you know.

After several days of tough conditions, Flat Stan and I made it to the palace of the Ice Clown King, where Stan and all his other flat friends and family members were created. The Ice Clown King was happy to see Stan, and he gave him a hug.

The Ice Clown King invited us in to keep warm from the cold. I parked my sled at his doorstep and made myself at home.






The Ice Clown King then fed us a hearty meal. Boy were Stan and I hungry. I swear, we ate so much so fast that after we were done, Stan's stomach was no longer flat. And I could barely get the sled to move my own plump little belly.


Finally, with a little help from the king himself, we shoved off from the palace and headed back home. I dropped Stan off at his house, and he waved goodbye. Our adventure was over, but we both knew there would be more adventures ahead of us.
