Chase had his first pancake, a huge Teddy Bear pancake for breakfast at the Rockbridge restaurant, and he seemed to have a great time eating pieces of it and throwing pieces on the floor around his high chair. Everybody (including Sam) took a major nature trail walk through the woods, and Daddy used the harness for the first time to carry Chase. It’s sort of a long, hilly, scary walk but Chase fell asleep about halfway through the adventure. Aunt Becky taught Chase how to play with an ice cube at the table, and he seemed to have great fun with that. In the evening, we built a fire in the fire pit and brought the TV outside to watch "Arctic Blast," a really bad disaster movie that Mama selected. We were supposed to toast marshmallows but everyone was too full from dessert at dinner time: brownie hot fudge sundae, strawberry cheese cake and Oreo pie.
