Biosphere 2 and LaPaloma

July 27, 2012 at 7:32 am · Filed under Life in general

We went to the Biosphere 2 last Saturday. We enjoyed the tour, which takes you inside the facility now. We were able to experience all five of the ecosystems that are there. We were also able to see their living quarters. Our favorite part had to be the South Lung. When the Biosphere 2 was sealed, the engineers had to find a place for all of the air to go to accommodate for higher and lower pressure. They developed a lung, which was able to contract and expand as needed depending upon the pressure in the building. The lung was located in a large dome and it was made of thin neoprene type fabric which was able to raise and lower as needed.

After the biosphere we all headed down to La PaLoma to meet my mom and Ken. We spent the weekend there in the pool swimming, going down the water slide, and watching the thunderstorms rolled by. It was a really great way to end the summer. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

We spent the 4th at home and at Mark’s parents. It was a quiet day and the weather was the best we have had all summer. We went to the AZ Science Center with our friends and had so much fun, we are going back soon! We also spent the weekend at the Hilton with Gramma Tucson! Here are some pictures to show you how much fun we had!
