My cousin's daughter mailed us a letter with a new friend inside -- Flat Stanley! Her second grade class is learning about letter writing as well as all the different states in the US, and they wanted Stanley to get a tour of MA before we sent him back. We appreciate any good excuse to get out of the house and do something fun, so we decided to give Stanley a tour of Harvard Square. The Sorensens joined us for an extra-special day!
Probably the best part of the whole thing was riding the bus! Candace B. donated her bus passes after visiting last week, so we took advantage.
These kids had the attention of all the other bus passengers. They were so interested in everything out the window, and they were not quiet about it. "Look! It's Star Market!!!!"
Stanley made it safe and sound to Harvard Square. Doesn't he look ecstatic?
We met the daddies here for a spontaneous lunch at the Border Café.

A stop at one of Henry's favorite places: the Museum of Natural History. There are lots of cool animals and fossils in this museum.
While walking around campus, we discovered Winnie the Pooh's home. Seriously, who knew the Hundred Acre Wood was actually next to Harvard's Science Center? And Pooh was really inside the door! He and Stanley shared a pot of honey.
When Christina and I were both newlyweds in Provo, we used to dream of the day when we would live in the same town while our husbands went to graduate school. Then, when Ava and Henry were born close to the same time, we used to dream that they would someday be good friends. Here we are, living our dream! Look at those adorable 4-year-olds. Best friends!
Actually, Henry clarified today that Ava is his best friend, and he is Ezra's best friend. It works out great, because this threesome spends a lot of time together. For more pictures with Ezra (and Ellis), see the slideshow below:
