Great Wolf Lodge

We took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge this week and they had a blast. We got the room with the "Wolf Den" and Soph was super excited to have her own "room" with a TV:

 Hahah we put Eli on the bottom but he didn't sleep there:

 Linds, Makenzie, Jim and Sharon stopped by to see us. Of course we spent some time in the arcade:

 Soph loved the water slides:

 Eli loved the water as well:

 How cute are Makenzie and Eli??

 Soph after story time:

 OMG I'm dying at these pictures - these were the out takes:

 clearly Soph wasn't feeling it:

 I had two meetings during the day for work so we walked around the building looking for a conference room for me to take the calls. During our tour Soph found a few things to get her picture with:

 On the car ride home:

So much fun!

 Taking a break:

 It was great weather for soccer:

 This week it was colder but she still did great. The coach was out of town so El and another dad coached the team this week.

 Soph got the great sportsmanship award this week. She was so excited:
