Chase and Nanaw had a busy, fun-filled day on Thursday. Well, the first part wasn't fun-filled. Today was cleaning lady day, and Nanaw spent a couple of hours putting things away to get ready. When that was done, Nanaw packed up snacks and drinks, and she and Chase headed to Powder Valley. They visited all their favorite places. They got to see their friend the turtle in the aquarium; sometimes he's (or she's) buried in the gravel but today his head and shell were out. Chase didn't want to go for a walk on the trail today. After they finished seeing the displays, he was ready to go to the Eyeball Park (otherwise known as Laumeier Sculpture Park to see the eyeball display. They walked up to see the eyeball and then Chase was ready to go. Nanaw asked him if he wanted to go to Suson Park and see the animals and check out the playground for Ninja Warrior obstacles. He was very excited to go do Ninja Warrior things. It was fun seeing the animals, and Nanaw was sorry that this was their first visit to Suson this summer. Nanaw took a picture of Stanley the baby donkey napping and sent it to Mama. They'll go again next week. The playground was full of obstacles for Chase to tackle, and it made him very happy. Chase and Nanaw did school when they got home, using the great book Mama bought at Barnes & Noble. In the evening, Mama told Nanaw that all evening, Chase had been talking to Daddy about putting Ninja obstacles in the back yard. Daddy said there wasn't enough room but Chase was pretty insistent.
