We're part of a school project in Canada, whoop! Meet my new mate Flat Stanley.Â
You're gonna be seeing a lot more of him coz he's learning all about New Zealand and sharing his adventures with his class mates back in Canada.
He was sent to my man and I by Aniston who is a friend of our niece Arawa. Their class is learning about new places and people in their third grade social studies class and what better way to learn than by sending over Flat Stanley to join us for a few weeks to soak up the kiwi culture.
We take him wherever we go, take pictures and send them back to the kids at St. Marguerite School, Alberta, Canada.
So far Flat Stanley has settled into our jungle lifestyle with our furkids, flown to Queenstown and stayed in Arrowtown for a wedding and is gearing up for the Fireworks Spectacular in Northland this weekend. Never a dull moment in The Gibbfords whare.Â
I'll keep you posted on his adventures on instagram, you can check it out HEREÂ
