Mama had the day off from work so she took Chase to school instead of Nanaw. Chase had early dismissal from school at 11:20 because the teachers had an in-service thing. So Nanaw decided that a visit to the Magic House would be fun for Chase. He had seen a commercial on TV about the new attraction, the Forest, and Chase was looking forward to checking it out. First, they went home for lunch, and then they went on their adventure. Chase liked the Forest and spent a long time there. He and Nanaw stayed at the Magic House for over two hours so Chase got to visit many of his favorite displays, including: the bubble room, the waterworks, the bank, the fishing hole, the Lego cars, the Schnuck's store, the vet's office, the catapult, the rock laboratory and the ice cream stand. He had a great time but Nanaw thinks she wore him out because he didn't fuss when it was time to go. Mama and Daddy were out celebrating Aunt Becca's birthday so Nanaw got to keep Chase until 7 -- yay! Chase and Nanaw had dinner together at the dining room table with a candle and music -- Chase danced in his chair and sang throughout dinner. Nanaw predicts a future as a rock star for Chase. After dinner, Chase rode his Big Wheel down to the circle, with Nanaw protecting him from cars. Unfortunately, one of the pedals came off the Big Wheel, and Nanaw couldn’t get it back on. When Mama and Daddy came to pick Chase up, Daddy put the pedal back on. It turns out that you have to screw it in counter-clockwise instead of clockwise -- who knew!
