Chase and Nanaw had a busy day on Friday, making up for lost time. First, they went to the little playground by the Columbia Library. There were about seven boys and girls playing there, and Chase was happy to have so many kids to play with. He ran races with them and played hide and seek. He really wore himself out and didn’t make a fuss when Nanaw said it was time to go to the car for chocolate milk. Next, Chase and Nanaw went to Powder Valley. Chase wanted to walk on the trail first so that’s what they did. There were four school buses full of kids visiting Powder Valley – about 100 boys and girls. Of course, Chase was excited to see them. A group of them were lined up at the start of the trail, and Chase said he wanted to race them. So Chase and Nanaw hurried off down the trail. Chase continues to be very competitive. When Chase and Nanaw finished the trail, two boys ran past them, and Chase ran after them, pretending he was racing with them and pretending that he'd won the race. In the evening, everybody went to dinner at Merz on Main; Chase had grilled cheese; Nanaw had a yummy chef salad; Daddy had a catfish sandwich; and Mama had chicken strips. Good food all around.
