Wildlife Experience

Cailey's Girl Scout troop got to spend the night at the Wildlife Experience Museum last night. It was a fun night that started with a pizza dinner and cookies. Then, the girls learned about animal habitats and did a couple of activities/crafts about animal habitats. They also got to see a live salamander ~ named Sal. The girls then got to see a live tarantula, a snake named Opal, and a hedgehog (so cute!). The girls watched a video about bats ~ interesting animal. They did a scavenger hunt through the Colorado Walk exhibit and then got to run free through the Grossology exhibit and the Robot Zoo exhibit. Cailey's favorite part was the Grossology exhibit ~ she learned about poop, vomit, slime, smells. It was...gross. :o) The girls didn't get to sleep until 10:30! But, Cailey and I had the prime sleeping spot in a little corner of the Discovery Den in a hut that was used to watch videos ~ it was the perfect spot. We awoke this morning at 7:30a to museum lights being suddenly flipped on. Not so perfect. After gathering all our gear, we headed to breakfast and then watched an IMAX movie ~ Sea Monsters. That was very interesting. After the movie, the girls got to touch another snake ~ a boa named, Snake. We left for home and now I am in need of a nap. Enjoy the slideshow of Cailey at the Wildlife Experience.
