I took the kids to the zoo yesterday, they had a Star Wars day where some folks were dressing up as the movie characters and were walking around the zoo. These are people who spend a lot of time and money re-creating movie customs and then do many charity events. Even though this was a very small zoo, it was a fun event and the zoo was very, very busy. I'm glad I went, the kids had fun and this was for a good cause — we're actually thinking about having my daughter volunteer there since she loves animals so much.
