Quinn was a champion again. I seriously have one of the most mellow babies on the planet. The original plan was for Quinn, my mom, and me to leave after the prize drawing (Ali won a popcorn maker!) in the evening, but as the temperatures cooled down and Quinn was still as happy as ever, we all decided to stay until we were all done. Quinn did not cry once all day. She rode the Merry-Go-Round three times, and loved watching all the other rides. She was so excited by The Rocket, and I think she would have loved to go on the one in kiddie land if she had been tall enough. Speaking of which, she has a long way to go before she is tall enough to ride any of the rides. We might need to buy her some platform shoes so she can ride some rides before she is ten.
I rode some rides, but was disappointed to discover that having a baby not only robbed me of some of my brain power, but my guts as well. I got very nervous on the white roller coaster, which is my favorite, and had to work up the nerve to go on it twice. The second time was better, but I skipped out on all the other roller coasters.
It was hot. And humid. At one point, I was so hot I thought I could pass out, and Quinn was taking a hot, sweaty nap. I was ready to leave, but a cool drink made me feel better, and when Quinn woke up she cooled down by sharing a popsicle with my mom and McKay. She refused to take one from me. And then it cooled down, and was quite pleasant. It was a very fun day at Lagoon!
Quinn fell asleep without a meltdown on the way home from the park, and I tried to carefully sneak her the house, with the help of my mom and sister. However, she woke up, and was a wild child. She was literally bouncing off the walls. She was laughing, squealing in happiness, and hamming it up. She was being silly, and knew it. It was hilarious. Luckily, she fell right back to sleep once I took her upstairs and rocked her.
Speaking of sleep, Quinn was so tuckered from two late nights this week, she fell asleep at 7:45 pm tonight, and stayed asleep! It totally caught me off guard, and made for an interesting night when I had to hook her tubing up to a sleeping child, but I made it work. I hope this doesn't mean she is going to wake up super early, because we have been sleeping in until 9:30 am most mornings, and it is nice.
She also sprouted her third tooth sometime this weekend/early this week. I ran to the store on Tuesday night, and while we were there, Quinn grabbed my thumb and bit it. I was totally confused when I felt teeth on top and bottom, but sure enough, there is a tooth off to the side on the top left side of her mouth. Told you she was a champion, she totally was teething without us even knowing this time.

I am so glad that you guys had fun at Lagoon, I am jealous I haven't been in years and Nathan has never gone!!! By the way did you know that Gracyn had "Lagoon shoes" when she was younger (platform sandals) so that she could ride the big kid rides, too funny!
Wow, she really is just mellow yellow :) We've thought about taking Isaac but thought he'd get pissed that he couldn't do many rides! At this rate, Isaac and Quinn may need to get matchy matchy platform shoes, cause Isaac is pretty small, too :) Of COURSE Ali won a popcorn maker - she's lucky like that, ay? :) I am glad you guys had fun.
So cute! We loved taking the kids to the kiddie park there, but it's SO expensive, that we haven't even attempted it this year . . . I'm glad you guys had an 'in' for a cheaper day!
Looks like so much fun! Quinn has such a happy go lucky personality. Can't wait for a day when I get to see Quinn and Isaac in their "Lagoon shoes"
