Chase stood slightly ahead. Ashley noticed him, but focused on the game. Then, Chase said to Sam,”Don’t look around. Keep up with your mom’s pace.”

“Okay,” Sam giggled.

When Ashley was filming, she stood still. Chase, however, moved with their progress. The game ended quickly.

Sam ran to Chase.”Daddy, that was so fun! Can we play this again sometime?”

“Sure, Chase agreed.
