Our fun Saturday at Ollie Koala's

Well since Jaesen took Tristan camping this weekend I had to find something to amuse Jack especially. He took it hard that he didn't get to go. Fortunately he is quick to recover especially if I announce we are going somewhere "fun". So I thought we would check out this new place called Ollie Koala's that I had heard about but haven't yet gone to. First of all though the weather here has been less than desireable. The winds were actually steady at 30 mph and gusting to over 55 so the drive became quite exciting. We had to go over a big tall bridge and let me tell you what, it was a bit on the unnerving side. The waves from the river were actually hitting the side of the bridge on occasion. We finally arrived at the spot and it is one of the cleanest indoor play areas I have ever seen. Savannah was walking all over the place and she finally got brave enough to let me help her up into the climbing structure and it was all over, she absolutely loved it. She was walking, crawling, making new friends and having a great time. We came down for a break and to have some water and the power went out. It had gotten so windy that it actually blew down the power poles in that area and all the power went out. Of course Jack didn't understand why we couldn't buy any food or play any games. The staff was really cool though and handed out coupons for a free large pizza, four drinks and a $5 game card. I thought that was way above and beyond so we will definitely go back. We stayed and played in the structure for a bit longer but Savannah was getting really tired and finally was laying on the floor whimpering and throwing a fit. Jack tripped over her head and fell on her. It was at this point that I decided it might be time for us to pack up and head to the safety of our car seats. Everyone was okay, no permament damage done. Other than that Savannah is all over the place walking but is in that horrible stage of falling down and smacking stuff, she had her first major mouth bleed last night and with as much blood as there was I was expecting a lot worse, but she is a champ.
