Marine Science Station

Today, I was able to go with one of the 7th grade science classes on their field trip to the Marine Science Station in Crystal River. I just got back, and after a long night at work yesterday and the trip today... I'm shot!!! It was so much fun though! We went snorkeling in the Gulf of Mexico at a location known as Gomez's Rocks. Saw a lot of cool things like sea stars, schools of fish, coral, snails, oysters, and sponges (ewww)! On the boat ride back we even saw dolphins! There was also an observation deck that we were able to climb. Anyway it was a great trip, the students had fun, were well behaved, and happy that I was able to join them! One field trip down and one to go.... Busch Gardens next Friday!!! Here are some pics....
