We did have a lovely time! I hope everyone got home before this evening's torrential downpour began just a little while ago. Thanks for posting the photo of the hippo - I was too impatient to wait for it to unsubmerge from its green water hole to snap a shot.

I missed seeing the polar bears - wonder why that area was closed? Maybe they're on tour...

Sorry to miss you guys... had to take the kid to the airport to ship him back to dad. *sniff* Was gonna go to a MexTESOL meeting but I laid down on the couch for a 15 min nap and got up 4 hours later... Razz

Speaking of Cheetos... whoever decided to put chile powder on Cheetos was a genious.
