Zoo debut

Last Sunday Max paid his first visit to the Woodland Park Zoo.

We headed deep into jungle (via a paved pathway)

The elephants were definitely a highlight.

As was the lion taming

We fed the animal

And we ended where we're learning all good kid trips conclude...

The souvenir stand.

If he could talk, he'd be saying, "I need this."

What banana?

Taking Grandma Patti for a walk

Happy first day of summer

We'd like at least one more day like this one in the next three months, please.

Max's first official haircut

As a part of Father's Daypalooza, we took Max to get his first official hair cut this weekend. I say "official" because we had an unlicensed beauty technician (i.e. mom) trim his little, fuzzy towhead back in March.

We're happy to report that Max was a champ in his little racing car salon chair. He didn't shed a single tear. Unfortunately, we couldn't say the same for his sappy dad.

"Just a little off the top, please."

"I could get used to this pampering business."

Comb over.

The results!

One additional note about the pictures above. The green sign behind us is for a restaurant called La Medusa, which is where Elisa and I went on our second date. Ah, the circle of life!

Scoot over

Happy dude

Ice cream: I'll take it any way I can get it

The traditional lick

The rarely used cone-to-spoon-to-mouth move

A grab-and-go tactic

And yeah, then there's this.

World Cup skillz

Let's see those guys from England dribble past a car!

Found it

How much is that doggie?

Looks good

Smells good

We'll take this one

Good times with Pop Pop Ridley
