great wolf lodge [in a million pictures]

The Gootes took us to Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City this weekend. 

We met at their house on Friday morning where we were greeted with donuts.

Elise was pretty excited.

We got there, swam a little, then headed into Traverse City.

This old building used to be a sanitarium - and now it's a huge area that's being redone into little shops, restaurants, and condos.  Very cute.  And a little creepy. 

Seriously a fish.

This would probably make you laugh out loud. 

She was having SO much fun. 

We played a little mini-golf.

She was this excited every single time she got the ball in the hole. 

Sometimes she just threw it in there. 

The pools were SO warm and fun.

I was taking pictures of Elise and looked over and saw Nick.  

All by himself.  Playing in the kiddie pool. 

At 8pm every night they have story time in the lobby.  

We had SUCH a fun weekend.  Thank you SO MUCH Gootes.  

Here's Elise after we dragged her out of the pool when we had to leave and bribed her with McDonalds.
