Daddy and Chase went to church on Sunday morning. Mama had considered taking Chase to the Columbia pool in the afternoon but it was cloudy out and rain was in the weather forecast so they didn't go. Mama fixed roast beef and her wonderful rice dish for dinner and invited Nanaw over. Mama wanted Chase to learn to cut his own roast beef so she gave him a steak knife to use and a lesson on how to cut up meat. He did fairly well with it and ate all his roast beef. At first, he didn't want to eat his rice but Mama sprinkled some of the crispy onion rings on it so he ate all of it. In the evening, Chase, Mama and Nanaw had an adventure at the Magic House. It was one of the St. Louis County Library nights at the Magic House from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Chase won three tickets through the summer reading program. They visited most of his favorite things. In the hall by the entrance, there was a big Lego display, so Chase stopped for a moment to play there. Then he went to the science lab. There he tried out the magnets. Mama and Nanaw did the magnets too. Then he played in the sand that makes all kinds of geography things. Next, he did the Lego racing cars. Then came the market where he and Nanaw selected lots of bread. Tee Tee and Lars went with them in Nanaw's bag, and every once in a while, they poked their heads out. Other displays they visited were: the pizza restaurant, the new soccer training facility where Chase spent a long time kicking a soccer ball into a computerized soccer goal, and the rooms with all the balls and tracks. It was a great trip to the Magic House, and it might be Chase's last one because he'll be 12 in December.
