It was the kid's "last day of summer vacation" before school starts next week. I had a long "to do" list today, but Lora called and said she was taking the kids to the zoo. I decided, on a whim, to go with them. Sometimes I feel bad about how many vacation days I have left at the end of the year :) I decided to use a half-day.

Saw some amazing creatures. The first animal we spotted was an Oryx. The last time I saw an Oryx was on our Safari at Awash National Park in Ethiopia. Seeing one in the zoo wasn't quite the same as seeing one in the wild :)
