Pumpkin Patch!!!

I love the fall and the awesome fall weather, what a great day for the pumpkin patch...








Chase is wearing the same shirt his cousin Devon wore last year to the pumpkin patch... only his cousin was three years old not one and a half!!!






Tractor ride with best friend Nathan!








Drink break!!!




Off and running again!!!

Fair Time!

We made our annual trip to the Tulsa State Fair and Chase had a blast. He was much more excited about the fair this year... not only because he was older, but it was beautiful weather compared to last year's cold day...


Chase enjoyed playing in the 'kid zone' this year, he pushed cars..


He colored on the official 2010 Tulsa State Fair mural...


He looked at the sand that mommy and daddy would not let him play in...



Giant bubble makers!


On the way to the petting zoo, we were sidetracked by the camels...


There were pigs...


Goats...


And MONKEYS!!!


After washing our hands, we headed out to the midway and Chase got to play his first fair game!!!


Pick a duck and win a prize!


Whoo who! ANOTHER ball!


Chase was pretty excited the whole time, swinging his legs and talking to everyone...


For dinner, Chase pretty much ate a whole cheese quesadilla, here is the picture story of how he ate each quarter of the quesadilla...




Strong man... Stuff face...

All gone!!!


Chase had his eye on Daddy's banana shake for some time... and he demanded to have it to wash down his dinner!


Fun times at the fair!!!

Thomas the Train

Chase LOVES Thomas the Train, and when we saw that Thomas was coming to the OKC Train Museum, we knew this was something we had to do. Chase put on his Engineer outfit Grampy got him, and we headed out to meet Thomas.

Not only was Chase about to see the "real" Thomas, he got to play under a tent full of train tables and trains... it was a dream come true for Chase...









It was a pretty big challenge to get Chase to leave the train table area, and it wasn't too pretty. But that seemed to be the way it went for all the parents trying to get their child to leave that area.

There was a lot going on, Thomas shows playing on one train car, model electric trains going around in another. Other tents outside had a clown making balloon animals, and they had Thomas and friends tattoos they were putting on the kids. There was also a tent where fun music was playing and a magician performed. And the biggest event, was the ride with Thomas....

When Chase first saw Thomas, his jaw dropped, and he waved very slowly in amazement that Thomas was REALLY right in front of him....







Chase is playing with his Thomas whistle, notice his Thomas tattoo... he has Percy tattooed to his other arm... Chase also received a Junior Engineer Certificate on the train.





After our train ride we went to meet Sir Top 'em Hat, the train yard manager... I am starting to think Chase is going to follow suit with my cousin Matthew and how he feels about people in costumes...



I told Danny to try to stand him up in front of Sir Top 'em Hat, but that wasn't going to happen, Chase wasn't about to let Daddy leave him alone up there!





One last picture with Thomas, then time to head home...




Bye Bye Hartman family... tooted Thomas...

SPLASH PARK FINALE!!!

For our Tuesday playdate we went to the Hunter Park splash pad, now that Fall is just around the corner I am sure this will probably be our last water playdate. Chase had a BLAST with his pals Nathan and Gracie!!!!









Chase flirting with Gracie...




The boys...






MANIAC!!!!



I guess I'll call it a day....


And I wish that was how it all ended, but in the last 20 minutes we were there, Chase fell and hit his head, and after he had calmed down from that he got stung on the cheek by a bee. Poor kid... he actually took the bee sting pretty well, he's a tough little guy.
