Chase had a half day of school today, as the start to his Thanksgiving vacation. He's also off tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. With a bit of fussing on Chase's part, Chase and Nanaw went to Powder Valley. Of course, Chase wanted to stay home and play on the computer But Nanaw said they were going to Powder Valley, and they went. They visited all of Chase's favorite things. First, they stopped at the huge snakes -- one of them is a rattlesnake. They looked at the tarantula and the frogs. Then they went to visit the huge turtles. Next, they went downstairs and spent some time with the bug display. Nanaw pointed out the chiggers, the insects that really bit Chase out at Elias's house when Chase and Elias rolled around in the grass. They went to the aquarium to look for the turtle who buries himself under the gravel but he was nowhere in sight. Chase noticed that there was a new, beautiful black fish in the aquarium. Chase played with the bottles of water, one of which he calls chocolate milk. They looked at the rest of things downstairs then went upstairs. At the bee display, Chase told Nanaw that the queen bee has a yellow dot on her back so they looked for that. But they couldn't find a bee with a yellow dot. Then Chase read a note on the bee display that said when it gets cold, the other bees pile on the queen to keep her warm. So Chase figured that's what they were doing, and that's why no yellow-dotted queen was visible. For lunch, Chase ate his lunchable in the car. In the afternoon, Chase played in his phone and on the computer. He also played knee hockey in the hall. He had Alexa set a time for 40 minutes for him to do his AR reading. He finished the book he's reading, and he'll take the test on it Monday when he's back in school. For dinner, Chase had the leftover chicken strips from Joe Boccardi's. Nanaw heated them up in the oven, and they turned out perfectly. Mama and Daddy were working at the Queen of Hearts so Chase stayed at Nanaw's till 7:30.
