Chase was off school on Monday for Columbus Day, and Mama had the day off also. Mama, Chase and Nanaw had a wonderful adventure. They went to the zoo! The weather was beautiful -- a bit chilly at first but very sunny. The zoo was a little crowded because a lot of people were off work or off school. The zoo was decorated for Boo in the Zoo, and Mama was very excited about all the Halloween decorations -- pumpkins, skeletons. Spiders, mummies, ghosts and lots more. They visited the elephants (Mama's favorites) and the penguins (Chase's favorites) but not the zebras (Nanaw's favorites). Chase didn't want to ride the train so they didn’t. They also saw bears, fish, the rhino, and puffins. The painted dogs were hiding out so they didn't get to see them. After the penguins, Chase saw an Arctic fox cub in the penguin gift shop that he really liked but he didn't know whether to get it or to wait and see what the big gift shop had. Mama told him to wait and look at the big gift shop. She said either I'd find some thing else he wanted or they would have an Arctic fox -- and they did and that's what Chase got. He named the Arctic fox cub Fluffy. On the way home, Mama dropped some bags off at Goodwill. Then they went to the tunnel McDonald's on Telegraph for lunch, and Chase played in the play area. Other boys and girls were there, and Chase had a great time. Next, they went to Walmart to get storage tubs for Mama and Toy Story 4 for Nanaw. But they didn't have just the Toy Story 4 DVD. Nanaw went to Waterloo Walmart and got the last Toy Story 4 DVD. Yay!
