Mississippi River Museum Field Trip

Holy cow!  We experienced an amazing field trip today.  The class saw lots of animal exhibits (including the special exhibit featuring animals from the Amazon River in South America), flooding and erosion models, dredge boats, fur traders, and steamboat history.  Check out the pictures below for a closer look at the action.

Ready for some action!


Into the caves Mark Twain detailed...


The Wet Lab!


Turtles, Ducks, and Fish (oh my!)


Boarding the William M. Black Dredge


Walking toward the ship's kitchen


Land Ahead!


Our wonderful fur trader displays proper attire!


A full day of knowledge acquired...


...with some silliness thrown into the mix!
