Soccer Fever- Euro 2012

As I mentioned there is a big soccer tournament in Poland right now. The Dutch team was staying in the Sheraton while we were there, so I think between seeing the players in real life walking around the hotel, watching the games on TV, plus a visit from Mike McNally who was helping them out back with their moves, the kids have really gotten into soccer. Yay! There is a big billboard in the city of Xavi (a Spanish player) wearing Predator cleats so during an outing to Decathalon sports I wanted to buy Jack a pair. Unfortunately they didn't come in his size, but Ava shocked me by saying she wanted a pair! She hasn't taken them off her feet since.... 
Next to the team bus outside of the hotel
Trying to get pictures of the team and security yelled at her
The coach was staying in a room near ours so she got a picture of him
Out watching the games with Mike McNally

Mike, Sean, Oisin, and Mike before they hit the road to Poznan. Jack was very upset that he couldn't go
In Poznan
Irish fans galore
Those of us who were not invited to Poznan still managed to have fun in Krakow - Go Ireland!
Being silly
Enjoying some freshly squeezed OJ while Mommy enjoys her freshly squeezed mojito
Watching more games at the Sheraton
With the giant Predator
And the game ball

Ava in her new cleats
Don't mess with a girl playing soccer in a dress!
