Mama had the day off to spend with Aunt Becca on her birthday, so Mama took Chase to school. When Nanaw picked Chase up, his friend Will was with him. Nanaw asked if they wanted to go to the big park, and they agreed enthusiastically. First, they went to the swings, and so did Nanaw. They all had fun swinging. Then the boys played on the merry-go-round, then went exploring to the creek. Next, they went to the baseball field to play Wiffle ball. Nanaw pitched to them, and they got a fair amount of hits, despite Nanaw's pitching being really bad today. After Wiffle ball, they played soccer in the batting cage. That was really smart because the netting surrounding the batting cage kept the soccer ball from getting away from them. It started to rain a little, so Nanaw went to sit in the car. Then it rained harder so the boys came to the car. Nanaw had brought drinks and treats for them so they had sort of a picnic in the car. After the picnic, they went back to Nanaw's house. For a little while, Chase and Will played in Chase's room, then they went outside to play soccer for a few minutes before Nanaw drove Will home. Back at Nanaw's house, Chase did 20 minutes of AR reading, then played on the computer. Nanaw took Chase home at six; Mama was going to take him to soccer practice. Things Nanaw learned: Reagan's grandpa developed the subdivision where Will lives; there's an entrance path to the Sportsmen's Club across the street from where Will lives that Will uses to go fishing in the Sportsmen's Club lake; Will says the teacher said they could wear jackets without hoods next week if they're cold -- that's a ban on hoodies. Today would have been Pawpaw's 83rd birthday. Nanaw had dinner with him at the cemetery.
