It was only a matter of time before Max and his future girlfriend Brianna (daughter of my good friend Liz) went on a second date. (If you recall - they met up for ice cream last month). Liz and I schemed and agreed we should go on a zoo date...luckily Max and I know some people there ;)
The night before the big date - Max did a little reading...and brushed up on his animal knowledge!
The day of their date turned out to be the hottest day of the summer so far - but, Max pulled it together (read - he fell asleep) and we managed to spend a couple hours at the Zoo. Our first stop was Discovery Reef because it's air conditioned - and also I thought it would be calming and serene for the babies. Unfortunately, so did half the population of Columbus - so we didn't spend much time there. Next up - Manatee Coast!
Max and Brianna were less than impressed with these gentle giants - Sea Cows if you will....
So - we made our way to African Forest.
So - we made our way to African Forest.
While the gorillas weren't up to much (does anyone really feel like doing anything in 90 degree heat?)...this is where things really start to heat up between the wee ones. You can see Brianna in the above picture, really craning her neck to get a good look at her beau. Max, on the other hand - is still sound asleep - but ready to fight off any potential threats to her honor (see his tiny fists?)
Brianna starts to get the hint and turns her attention elsewhere (see below!)
We finished off with lunch at the food court. Brianna enjoyed some rice cereal and Max enjoyed catching some more zzz's. We decided to call it an afternoon due to the heat, humidity and increasing amounts of people at the Zoo! Once home - I stripped Max down to his diaper to help him cool off. It's safe to say he enjoyed it...and is already looking forward to their third date!
Xoxo
