On Saturday morning, Chase, Mama, Sam and Daddy came out to Aspenhof to visit Nanaw. First, they took Sam for a walk on the road by Nanaw’s A-frame. Next, they went fishing at the little lake close to Nanaw’s house. Much to Chase’s delight, Daddy caught two little fish that he threw back into the lake. Nanaw fished too but didn’t catch anything, and she had trouble with the hook on her fishing rod. Daddy gave her a new hook and a weight. After fishing, they went down to the big lake to go swimming. At first, Chase was hesitant about going into the lake, But eventually Mama and Daddy coaxed him into the water, and he had a great time. He had his arm floaties on and pretended to swim. He played with a bucket and a crab from his sandbox toys and worked on building a sand castle. Of course, Chase didn’t want to get out of the water but when he was promised M&M’s, he agreed to get out. Nanaw was sad to see them go- it had been a wonderfully fun visit. In the evening, Mama e-mailed Nanaw two photos: a photo of Chase with Oh, the McDonald’s toy from the Home movie (Oh had been lost for weeks) and a photo of a new Minion from McDonald’s.
