A little friend, Alex in New Mexico needed a host for his Flat Stanley so of course we were eager to take Stanley on a tour of our local College, Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia
First he got to ride the glass elevator up to the pedestrian bridge the LU installed last year for students to safely cross the very busy road to Walmart and other shops.
Then we took him to the DeMoss Center to see the neat LU Flames Eagle and fountain--- that was too cold and icy to be flowing water, but still equally cool.
Then it was time to go check out the huge football field at William's Stadium which was newly built last year. They had a successful season this fall/winter. It was very cold, but he seemed to still enjoy watching some of the guys do drills at the huge stadium.
Next we headed to the Liberty Mountain Snowflex. He immediately wanted to play Giant Chess, and so we did.
We don't have any snow here (yet) but the snowflex is open year round for skiing and tubing, even without snow. He started with the kiddy section with is a 80ft ride and you go about 10 miles per hour.
Then we headed to the BIG area where we rode to the top of the slope
Then, Stanley got to go down the big snow tubing slope. The slope on the left is 350ft and the one on the right is 500ft long and you go about 30 miles per hour.
To warm up we went inside the ski lodge and met some interesting friends.

It was time for us to leave and say good bye to Liberty Mountain, go home cook supper and start homework. I think Stanley had a good visit!
