Happy 7th Birthday!!!

We opted for something a bit different this year.  Instead of the big birthday at the house, we decided to hit the road.  Madison invited her best friend Emma along for the night and we made our way to Great Wolf Lodge.

On our way out, we stopped by IKEA for a gift for Madison.  While there, Emma and Madison were hanging out in the "cabana"!

Moments later, we finally made our way to the lodge.

It didn't take the girls long to change from their street clothes into their bathing suits.

A few hours later it was time to get changed to go to dinner and play a few games.

How cool is it to have milk and cookies delivered by Oliver the Raccoon just before bed?

Cookies and milk

 No cupcakes here...not today anyhow!  Check out the candle in the sausage.

The "tattoo" says it all.  Setting the mood for the rest of the day.

Hours and hours of swimming meant an ice cream appetizer!

Where all seven years old want their birthday dinner....a Japanese Steakhouse!

Photo Bomb!!!

Check out those chopstick moves

And another photo bomb

Two nights in the kennel sure did make for a very tired puppy on Sunday.

And the look of a very happy little girl!
