Monday, March 29th was an AWESOME day for our family! We (specifically, Mommy) closed the book on a very painful period -- and we celebrated big time (Mommy style!). After several very sleep-deprived nights & a looooong morning, we left a building we'll hopefully never see again and went out to breakfast with Nana and Granddad Slicker & Uncle Mikey. Quintin, the trooper, despite being ripped out of slumber at 5:50 a.m., ate his pancake breakfast with gusto & later kept up somewhat frantic energy levels for a day of fun! We went to Uncle Mikey's and hung out while he drove over to his Mother-in-law's to pick up Makayla, his beautiful baby daughter. I got to carry my precious niece around and show her the incredible children's museum in St. Petersburg, Great Explorations. Quintin looooved it! His favorite was the tree house (with real trees!) set up in the middle of the museum (a huge twisty slide made the climb up into the tree completely worth it!). Our brave boy raced up the steep ladder steps to the slide over and over again :-). They also have a fire engine with working siren and video footage from downtown St. Pete that plays on a screen in front of the steering wheel; Quintin had a great time "driving" us to the scene of a fire, giving Daddy & I instructions on where to sit in the fire engine, when to grab the hose & start spraying, etc. After several hours of such fun, we left for McDonald's, where Quintin played in the huge indoor tube playground they have. Mommy was very nervous, since I couldn't see him while he was playing up there, and was NOT excited about having to crawl up there if anything happened, lol --but Quintin had no problems & scaled the interiors as if born to do it (this is the kid who scaled our furniture regularly before he could even walk -- what was I worried for?!?).
