Mama and Chase brought Sam and Sylvester over to Nanaw's house on Friday morning. Nanaw told Chase she would miss him lots while he's gone on his trip to his hockey tournament in Chicago. They left for Chicago at about 10, and Mama said they got there about 1:50. On the way, they stopped at a Wally's and ran into another hockey family. Chase ate lots of snacks on the road trip until Mama and Daddy said enough. At the hotel, the coach's wife had brought along the door hangers (picture below) she bought for the families, and the coaches put them on everybody's door. On Friday, they went to the Caddyshack for a snack and then went and watched a hockey game with the coach's other son. Then they got carryout and went to Chase's game. They lost the game but the boys hustled. They slept till 8 a.m. Saturday morning -- unheard of! Chase's game on Saturday was at 12:30, and then there was a rowdy team lunch at Giordano's, and then they were free. Chase and Daddy talked about going to the aquarium but it closes at 5 p.m. and it's 30 minutes away so they didn't go.. Later in the afternoon, Mama walked on the treadmill while she watched Chase and his friends swim. Then the kids and the parents went to a conference room where the kids were playing knee hockey, and the parents were having beers. Chase had another hockey game on Sunday morning, and then Mama, Daddy and Chase left for home. When Nanaw saw Chase on Sunday evening, he said he had a great time in Chicago and wanted to go back someday.
