Mama had the day off work on Tuesday, the day before Chase returns to school, so that they could have an adventure. Nanaw was invited, too. First, they went to the Columbia Bottoms nature preserve to see the sunflowers. Unfortunately, they were too late and only got to see a few sunflowers. The same thing happened last year. Uncle Mike told Nanaw he and Aunt Becky went in the middle of July to see them, and they saw lots of them. After the sunflower trip, they stopped at the Jack in the Box at Grandview Plaza for lunch. Chase had onion rings and Tiny Tacos; Mama had two tacos and a chicken sandwich; Nanaw had Tiny Tacos. Chase shared his onion rings with Mama and Nanaw. Next, they went to the Transportation Museum (known by Chase as the Train House) at Chase's request. They went to see the trains you can walk through -- the one that makes a lot of noise when you walk through it, and which Nanaw thought was the milk car. It was really the Monsanto train car that carried acid. Mama found the real milk car, and they went to see it. After going through the trains, they went to ride the train. They found all of the ten Owney the dog bones and were very proud of themselves. They went through the little garden twice, once before the train and once after. They found the painted rocks both times, and then hid them again. After the Train House, they went to Wally's. Miracle of miracles, they had stuffed lemurs again, just like Hank so Nanaw bought another one, and Chase named him Frank. Mama is going to take Chase to school tomorrow, and Nanaw will pick him up. Chase and Nanaw may go to the little park if any of Chase's friends can go.
