BRANSON 2011

We had a fun time on our annual Branson trip this year. Danny and I even got to go to dinner Friday and Saturday night... just the TWO of us! What a treat that was, we went to dinner both times at The Landing, having yummy steak the first night, and delicious mexican the second. Chase had a lot of fun this year too, he got to go on the Branson scenic railway, a train ride that went through some beautiful scenery. We also went to Silver Dollar City, and Chase got to experience some of his first amusement park rides. It was a great little getaway!!!

Branson Railway! We had great seats on the upper deck of a car where it was just a dome of glass over us, couldn't ask for better seats to see the beautiful views, and of course the tunnels coming on!

Chase needed a new train to ride the big train with!


Here we go!!!




Pretty views!


Going through the tunnel!!!




The train rocked Grampy to sleep...


After the train ride we walked around the landing and had some yummy lunch. Then it was playtime!


Daddy teaching Chase to drive...




Silver Dollar City day!!!!




He may be to short to aim, but he had no problem loading the balls and launching them!


Chase was brave and went down this tunnel twisty slide, Danny was up on the level that you start and I was waiting at the bottom. I waited, and waited, and waited... Chase had got stuck halfway down!!! Scared me, but Chase thought it was pretty funny.


Chase's first amusement park rides...

Drive Thru Safari

We went to a drive through safari for a little day trip and it was SO cool!!! We all had a great time and will definitely go back! Petting zoo!
Chase thought the pig snorts were pretty funny...

Chase's 2nd Birthday Day!!!

Yes, my underprivileged son celebrated his 2nd birthday with three different celebrations... But these pictures were his actual birthday celebration pictures. We had great day, in the morning he opened MORE presents, then we were off to the zoo, that evening we had dinner with DeeDee!!!



Time for the zoo!!! Chase LOVES the penguin display...



That evening we celebrated with DeeDee. And Chase cashed in there with an electric Thomas that he can drive!!!

Chase's Incredible Pizza Party!!

We had Chase's birthday party at Incredible Pizza this year. It was nice not having to clean up and prepare anything, it was a fun day!


The party hostess got a game of Hot Potato going... I don't think Chase really understood, but he sure did have fun!!!




Birthday Cake!!!!


Presents!!!



Play time!!!

Baby shower and Birthdays!

Chase is going to have another cousin in a few weeks! We celebrated Wendy and Tim's baby boy and we are so excited to meet him!


After the baby shower we had quite a few birthdays and Grampy's retirement to celebrate! There was a lot to be excited about in the month of May at the Hartman's!
Beautiful Aunt Debbie, Uncle Red, Mason, and Chase all had birthday's in May...

Chase was a little too excited about the tracks on the cake and thought he should drive his train on them...oops!

Birthday presents and fun play time!!!
