ROAD TRIP 2K9!!!!!!!!!!!! The Marine Biology Class, well most of it, went to The Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha for a day trip to learn about Marine life! The class took a tour of the Marine Center before getting a behind the scenes adventure below and above the tanks. The chemicals in the air got to one student, who had to sit out part of the tour so he didn't pass out into the shark tank.
"It was so much fun," senior Molly Rissien exclaimed, "The car ride was great, we really got to connect with Mr. Welton. The bat cave was scary but I still had a great time!"

After the behind the scenes tour, the class got to look at the other indoor exhibits at the zoo. Because of the below freezing temperatures and wind-chill in the teens, the outside exhibits were inaccessible. Students walked through a Jungle like environment in a huge room heated to feel like the real Amazon Rainforest.
This 4 story tall tree is a secret support for the roof of the Jungle exhibit.
The trip was a "GREAT SUCCESS" all around! Now, please enjoy these photos.
This "Desert Dome" feels and looks like the Arizona Desert.
This is the fake lizard that scared the CRAP out of Molly!
