ed commemorate the first airplane flight in nearby Kitty Hawk, NC as well as the wild horses that used to live in the area. A few can still be seen further north on the beach but Stanley didn't see any this visit. He had a great time! 
ing, we went to a Farmer's Market in Troy, which is right across the Hudson River from Albany. There was a very good bluegrass band playing, and lots of farm-grown food for sale. After we picked up some food for lunch, we walk
ed over to a statue of Uncle Sam, who represents the United States of America. The real life Uncle Sam was from Troy, and I got my picture taken with him. Right across the street from Uncle Sam is a bookstore called 'Market
Block Books.' Uncle Brendan talked to the owner, whose name is also Stanley(!), and he wanted a picture with me, too. It seems everywhere I go, people have heard of me. Then, on Sunday, we went to the New York
State Museum in Albany. There is a lot of interesting stuff there about the history of New York, such as its logging industry and the fact that
mastodons (think of them as big hairy elephants) used to live there long ago. I also liked visiting the original set from Sesame Street. I also learned about Native Americans who used to live in New York, and saw some very old fire 
engines. It was a
fun trip."

ns, we saw the famous statues that wer
e inspired by the book "Make Way for Ducklings," which took place in the Gardens. We also saw the statue dedicated to Robert Gould Shaw and his soldiers. Shaw was from Boston and led the first African-American regiment during the Civil War, the Massachusetts Fifty-Fourth. You can learn more about these brave men here: http://www.nps.gov/boaf/historyculture/shaw.htm We walked all the way to Faneuil Hall, which was a place where many patriots gave speeches in sup
port of the American Revolution. It was a great day, and I learned a lot about our country's history."
