Striking Out

Wow!  It's our first day of our fifth year of 4-H Biotech day camp and we are once again striking out for new territory.  Our group loaded up this morning and headed for the Cape Fear Serpentarium in Wilmington.  There we met the groups from Bladen and Hoke Counties who we will be traveling with this week.  We were a little early so we did a walk on the river walk and got to see all sorts of stuff in the water and learn about the economic importance of the river area to Wilmington.
  Then it was time to head into the Serpentarium.  There we saw snakes of all shapes and sizes.  We learned about venomous snakes, constricting snakes, and other reptiles.  They had iguanas, alligators, and a ,on arch lizard to see and learn about.  We also had a lot of fun talking with the parrots in the lobby area.
  After learning new and interesting facts about the reptile world we loaded up and headed to Fort Fisher Aquarium.  After our lunch at shark bites, we headed into the aquarium to see the sites.  Whether it was petting horseshoe crabs or checking out the jelly fish we had a great time.  Unfortunately we had to jump back into the vehicles after a couple of hours to head back home and prepare for our next adventure into higher education.
