one last trip...

For our last trip of the summer we once again tagged along with Daddy to Rochester.  Most people would never consider Rochester as a vacation destination but hey as long as there is a hotel with a pool then the Whitacres will vacation there...that's how this family rolls! :)  It all honesty though it ended up being so much fun (with the exception of a visit to a walkin due to a major bout of mastitis...ughhh!). 

We had so much fun hanging out by the lake after dinner one night...the weather was gorgeous!

I love when I can actually catch their real smiles.

And here it is folks...the next two pictures were my attempt at capturing all four littles...

this first picture captures their personality so well

Sophie-being annoying to Levi by playing with his ear

Abbie-just kind of there..not sure which way to roll at this      point...a meltdown could be very near but so could a beautiful smile...who knows.

Ella-taking this picture very serious b/c she knows how moody her momma can become if she doesn't get a good shot...trying to contain Levi with grace and determination

Levi- Mr. Grumpus pants who could care less

And two seconds later I had this...
oh. my. 
At this point I put my camera away.

The next day we took the kids to Seebreeze...we used to go there as kids so it was neat to be able to take my littles. 

This was their first ride...Abbie had no idea it went this fast so it took her a while to recover from this one...

She was much happier on the boats...

I loved this ride when I was a kid so I was thrilled when Sophie and Ella went on it with me...

Sophie loved it so much she wanted to go right back on it with Daddy.

From there we headed to the waterslides. I can't beleive how much Sophie looks like Abbie in this picture. 

Abbie wanted so badly to go on the kiddy waterslide but kept chickening (is that a real word??) out when she would get up there...then she finally did it.

AND...

LOVED it!

Levi wasn't sure what to think of the water shooting up from the ground.

So he gave it a try.

And then went to find mommy because he had enough.

love this shot of ella and daddy.

Sophie really wanted to go on the pirate ship..oh my...I really felt like we were all going to fall out.  I was scared and laughing throughout the entire ride-I felt like I had lost my marbles.  Look at those boys in front of us...apparently we should of chose those seats.

The train was much more enjoyable!

We had such a fun time...the girls are still talking about it.   We are definitely hoping to come back next year.
