Meerkats and Sea Lions and a New African Exhibit, Oh My!

One of my goals this week is to venture out a bit in El Paso and show the kids some of the fun parts about our new home.  We went to the El Paso Zoo yesterday and bought a membership so we can go whenever they have special events or  when we need somewhere to hang out for a few hours.  The zoo is actually better than it used to be, with a brand new Africa exhibit with zebras, giraffes (that were hidden when we were there), ostriches, and such.  They also have a fun sea lion show a couple times a day.  Most importantly, THEY HAVE MEERKATS!!!  Meerkats are Basia's favorite animal in the world, and they have a new meerkat exhibit with a sweet, baby meerkat!  We will definitely be going back soon, although I'd prefer to wait until it cools down a bit.
