The Chronicles of Flat Stanley

Ben’s oldest sister asked us to take Flat Stanley around and show him the sights of Utah for a former student of hers, who is working on a school project. We were more than happy to take Stanley around and introduce him to Utah. Here is where he traveled:




Stop One: Bingham Canyon Mine – home to Kennecott Copper, the largest open pit cooper mining operation in the world; can be seen from outer space.



Stop Two: The Olympic Oval – home to the speed skating, curling, and ice skating competitions during the 2002 Winter Olympics.



Stop Three: The Great Salt Lake – a large lake just West of Salt Lake City, giving the city it’s name and which is made up of 15% salinity



Stop Four: Temple Square – What would a trip to Salt Lake City be if you did not visit Temple Square home to World Headquarters of the Church of Later-Day Saints.



Stop Five: The State Capital Building – Salt Lake City is the capital of Utah, so it is home to the governing state bodies. The current Governor is Republican Jon Huntsman.



Stop Six: Rice Eccles Stadium – Home to the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2002 Olympic Games

That concludes our Flat Stanley tour, if we had more time I think Stanley would have enjoyed Southern Utah and the red rocks of Moab and Zion. Until next time I hope that you will find a Flat Stanley close to your home.
