This was an interesting spot in our zoo trip.  A little girl looks up at as and says, "Where did my family go?" Her name was Charity like our Charity.  Sheri took her to the Komodo section to look for her family, while I went to the major walkway intersection and asked if people knew Charity.  Ty found a staff of the zoo, an we reported everything to her.  As she was trying to get word to the gate about the girl, a group of people with her family showed up and she was off again.  Later we saw a woman calling for Charity.  She was very worried but we were able to relieve her, letting her know that Charity was with family.
