And from what I hear thee may be of equal value, especially if you add a food item. :)

Wish I was there.

I used to go and hold a beer in one hand and a hot dog in the other.
Now it's just one or the other because I can't AFFORD both.

Dallas Zoo because I enjoy a challenge.. not to mention the REALLY long walks between exhibits....


Oh, who am I kidding.. FTW Zoo is one of the best in the country.

Thanks! I wish I could take the new 7D in, but then again I'd be more in a photography mode then game mode. Don't need that! I'll get plenty of pics at the FW Zoo on Friday!

OMG... do NOT go to the Dallas zoo. I took some friends there last week who were in from Ohio... I was sooooo embarrased. There were like two animals in the place. My friend commented, "This is a great place for a zoo... all they need to do is add the animals now.". S-U-C-K-E-D!

Ft. Worth Zoo rocks... went there two weeks ago and it's great.

I don't think this is a rule. I saw several guys running around with 70-200mm.

Thanks. I slightly confused myself for a minute, there.

Things are looking real good now! Cowboys punked The Raiders and I found Thanksgiving dinner at Blackeye Pea! Now relax and watch the late game and head to the Fort Worth Zoo in the morning! I'm ready to shoot the 7D! Rock on!

Oh and Happy Thanksgiving Everyone and Thank you for the information....

I think I saw you when they were panning the crowd at the game yesterday. You were sitting close to that other guy, right? :)
