Mama had the day off on Thursday to go to the Cardinals baseball game with Uncle Mike. So Mama brought Chase over to Nanaw's house a little after 8:30 on Thursday morning. Nanaw had planned to take Chase to the Train House first and then the Magic House but Chase told Nanaw he didn't want to go to the Train House. So they went to the Magic House when it opened at 10:30. Chase had a great time, visiting all his favorite places. He went to Future Play and saw the friendly lady who works there. Then he went to the craft area and played with scribble bots, something new. Next, he played in the sand area, the Legos, fishing, the water works, the geology area, hockey, the wall puzzles, the car races and the catapult. Chase watched his Velveteen Rabbit part of the way home and then fell asleep -- very cute. Chase and Nanaw watched part of the Cardinals game, and it was very exciting. It turns out that Mama and Uncle Mike left the game in the middle of the seventh inning. This was before the Cardinals tied the game in the bottom of the ninth and won it in the bottom of the eleventh with Matt Carpenter's grand slam home run. Chase and Nanaw were so excited. Uncle Mike stayed at Chase' s house for dinner -- steak kabobs -- yum! Before dinner, Uncle Mike, Chase and Nanaw played hockey in the garage. After dinner, Nanaw went home, and Chase, Daddy, Uncle Mike and Mama played more hockey in the garage.
