Friday’s adventure for Chase was a visit to his favorite place: The Train House. When Chase and Nanaw arrived, the 9:15 session of the Creation Station was sold out so they had to wait for the 10:30 session. They watched the circus train for a few minutes, then went to ride on the train. It was raining a little bit but they had umbrellas so they were fine. For the first time ever, Chase got to be the guest conductor on the train and say "All Aboard" into the microphone. He was very excited about that. After the train ride (and a lot of attention for Chase from the real conductor), Chase rode on the hand car. Next, they bought popcorn and Chase played on the train table in the café. Nanaw told Chase that when the big hand was on the six on the clock on the wall, they could go into the Thomas Tables room – so Chase kept a close eye on the clock. Chase said the sweetest thing – he said he wanted to see Miss Linda so he could be happy. Nanaw told Miss Linda what he said, and she was very pleased about that. Chase did all his usual playing: the wooden blocks, putting together the rain track, playing in the kitchen, playing on the school bus, trying on the various costumes,playing with the puppets, making another rocket at the craft table, and of course, playing on the Thomas the Train tables. In the evening, Mama and Daddy invited Nanaw to go out to dinner with them and Chase at a little restaurant in Columbia, Merz on Main. Nanaw had a wonderful time with Chase and his family.
