Zip a doo da and a Crocodile Tour

Well, Saturday was our first official field trip day.  We went Zip-lining and Croc hunting!  Well, actually not hunting...more like spotting.

Here we are...all but two.

I loved the zip line!

This is Angelina Jolie....I have people's head's in the photo for a reference of just how close we got.

Hows this for a job?  He gets to make the Croc's look more photogenic for us...he doesn't get paid enough.

The river we went down is 50% salt water from the ocean and 50% freshwater.  Because of that, only one species of tree is able to grow, the mangrove tree.  They have the ability to separate the salt water from the fresh.  The baby trees purge salt through their leaves that the natives can collect and use, while the big trees have salt deposits on their trunks.  How cool is our Creator?  And not only are they functional, but hauntingly mystical as well :)

These mangrove trees make me think of the Elvish lands on LOTR.  I loved them.
