Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

I started my Thanksgiving by admitting 3 people to the hospital, nothing really serious only syncope. So I got off at 8:00 am and Edon came and got me at 9:00. We drove to the Zoo, missing it a couple of times, but made it. The chicago Turkey Trott was going on around the place. Lincoln Park Zoo is a really cool place. It was small utilized the space well and had great exhibits. This on was one of my favorites. The indoor large cat cages. These lions were active they were walking around from the outside exhibit to the inside one. The male lion was playing with that huge tree trunk there and then they would all of the suddon roar loudly that would fill the entire hall. There was this family there with small children and after the lions put on there show they all clapped and cheered. I thought it was funny.

It was cold at the zoo so many of the animals had access the their inside home and were off display. The most diappointing off display animal was the polar bear. Its a polar bear it is used to the cold. It lives in the Artic! I know Chicago gets cold but not that cold. If you look closely in the background of the picture you will notice the flamingos. Now the flamingos, native home Miami--do you really know where flamingos are from, me niether-- can withstand the cold but the polar bear gets a free pass. Thats cold, really cold.After the Zoo we went to have Thanksgiving Dinner...at McDonalds. It was open only until 4 so we had to hurry. No seriously we went to McDonalds for lunch about the same time most of the family was eating their turkey dinner. I was getting really tired and took a pit stop at McDonalds to wake up. I could have let Edon drive but she was on the phone talking to her family. I think she had a good day too. The first one away from family and being on our own. It is different on your own but fun in its own little way. These last photos speak for themselves.

I think I over ate! The finished bird.
