(Okay, so maybe meerkat life isn't quite so dramatic... and I don't know why I think he looks like a Reginald. Although I can definitely see him as a Reggie...)
Hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day yesterday. The weather here has finally taken a turn toward "summer," and yesterday was probably the warmest, sunniest day we've had in Chicago so far. That, coupled with the fact that it was a holiday, meant that the sidewalks here in Lincoln Park were crowded with people heading toward the lake -- or, like us, heading toward the Lincoln Park Zoo. Don't ask me why we decided, after six months of living a couple blocks away, to finally walk over there on Memorial Day in the hot sun. But walk to the zoo we did -- along with about five million other people... most of them with kids in strollers.
Needless to say, we didn't stay long... pretty much just long enough for me to find the meerkats. I love the meerkats:
Many of the "outside" animals (the meerkats are housed in an indoor exhibit) were hiding in shady places and sleeping because of the heat... but we still managed to catch a glimpse of a few other animals:
Usually, I like to get some pictures of the lions, but they were being quite lazy yesterday -- not unlike my little cats, who also tend to pass out when it gets hot and sunny...
And in non-zoo news -- unless something unforeseen happens, we SHOULD be Chicago condo owners by this time tomorrow. It's been a looooooong journey to get to this point, so it's hard to believe that it's finally happening. Once we've signed the papers and get slightly settled, I'll post some pictures of our new place! For now, we're off to buy moving boxes so we can start packing...

Damn those meerkats look cute! Love the yawning shot! :D
Good luck with the packing and the move!
Aren't they adorable?? I think meerkats are my favorite zoo animals -- they have so much personality. Although I do like the big cats, too... :)
Thanks! We're looking forward to getting to the new place!
