Sea Star

I was able to go on a field trip with Linda recently. We went on the Sea Star. It's a floating lab. We got to go out to sea on an adventure. We both had so much fun and we learned a lot. Growing up in New Mexico, you don't really study the ocean like they do here by the beach.

Linda got to help pull the net in. 
We caught shrimp and many kinds of fish and plankton.

On our trip we saw a lot of dolphins, pelicans, and a sea lion. There was also a whale in the distance and you could see him blowing water in the air. It was a great day. The weather was perfect. You'd never know that it was pouring rain the day before.

(Unfortunately, we never were able to get a picture together.)
