Chase decided he wanted to go to the Magic House again on Tuesday, mainly to play in the Nature Play area again, Nanaw surmised. Chase told Nanaw that when they got to the Magic House, they should go get their tickets and then go back outside to Nature Play. So that's what they did. He stayed there and played for a long while. He had fun in the stream but was disappointed that he couldn't play in the mud kitchen because the Magic House worker was cleaning up all the mud. Fortunately, Nanaw found a tree stump in the shade where she could sit and watch him. When they went inside, they went to the crafts area and said hello to their friend who works there. Chase played with a little boy, tearing down the house built with the wood boards. Nanaw made a catapult, and Chase played with the toothpicks and Styrofoam marshmallows. He went upstairs and played with the pulleys, the balls, the light-up colors and board with all the pushpins. He and Nanaw went into the attic to play, and that made Nanaw very happy. In the afternoon, Mama took Chase and Nanaw with her to West County mall. She wanted to go to the bar sign store and buy a birthday present for Uncle Stan. They also went to the fancy Schnuck's on Manchester -- Nanaw's favorite Schnuck's.
