Meercatsummer Madness

We thought our excursion on Melbourne Cup Day would be good clean family fun...






...but there were people jostling for a better view from the grandstand,








people urinating in public,










and people sleeping off their excesses. Honestly folks, it was like a zoo.

For the life of me, I can never get this animal's name right. We always call them "MeekRats" now because I'm a dork. It looks like you had a great time!

Yay! Isn't the zoo TOPS? We find the urge to borrow some friends' children and roam the zoo in a happy little pack making roaring noises about once a year...

The highlight of every Zoo trip for our family are the MeerKats, we're an easily amused bunch. Actually our little dachi does that standing on her back feet thing (very bad for dachshunds I'm told, although shes 16 so not sure how bad)
