Oli's first Birthday party

Oli had his first birthday party at Great Play, a gym the boys go to every Friday morning. we love the coaches there and the interactive arena is really awesome.

James took this really cool picture of Oli at the top of the tunnel

Oli decided he's not going to crawl thru the tunnel

"wheel of colors" game. the kids put their hands in the air to "spin" the wheel, coach has a remote control with him and he makes the wheel turn, then the kids have to go collect that color balls. one of the boys favorite.
