We decided to spend the day at Biosphere 2 today. The girls were excited. I don't think they knew where we were going, or what all it entailed but they were happy to spend the day together.
Everyone having fun on a girls only vacation. Say Cheese!
Biosphere 2 was an amazing sight from the outside. I couldn't wait to go inside.
7 people spent 2 whole years locked inside. They grew food, communicated with the outside by e-mail, they held video conferences with the media, and lots of other interesting things.
Inside, the girls got to play with an interactive water cycle display. Ping pong balls were the water and the girls had to make the ball go from the ground, to the clouds, to the plants. It was fun to watch them learn something while having a good time.
The first stop on the tour was the rain forest. You couldn't see much but lots of vegetation. We didn't stay in there long, good thing too. It was very humid and a little warm. I loved looking at all the plants but I did not like the humidity. Then we went out to the ocean area. It's a pool with a beach area. There are little waves every six seconds to keep the water circulating, and there's even fish. It was very exciting. We also saw a marshy area and of course a desert area. I would have liked to spend more time in each area but they had so many people wanting tours. It was walk and talk, no time to look.
After the tour was over, we went down to the ocean viewing area. You could see the fish and what was going on under the surface of the water.
The fish seemed to like the flash from my camera so I just kept flashing away to get them to come over. I actually got a picture (only one) of a fish during all the flashing.
They also had this whole interactive walk through for kids. There were a lot of stations to test their knowledge. All the coral, fish, sharks, and shells made you feel like you were under the ocean.
On the way out the girls were so captivated by oak leaves. I'm not sure if it's because they'd never seen one before, or the shape, or that there were so many. They begged me to take a picture so we wouldn't have to take a leaf home but they could still see it. How could I say no!
We saw this tiny little car when we were going inside but we didn't spend much time looking at it, we were so excited to get inside and go on the tour. The girls thought it was so cool they were taller than a car. We just had to have a picture on the way out.
After a fun day at Biosphere 2, we went to Macayo's to eat,and back to the resort to rest (and swim of course). I wasn't sure if the kids or even I would enjoy the biosphere. It turned out to be a lot of fun and very educational.
