Petal, Mississippi

    Along our journey around the United States, we made a pit stop in Petal, Mississippi. We learned about some fun things to do and some reasons to visit their state, like the good southern food, the great school districts, shopping, swimming, fishing, and finally, mud riding. Mud riding is when you take something motorized, (obviously not a car) and go riding on the slimy, disgusting mud. We also learned some more things like the entertaining water parks, go-cart racing, and the famous Mardi Gras festival. The Mardi Gras festival is when you can go eat fantastic food and celebrate the beginning of Lent.

    We also overheard some historical facts, like Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi.  It was one of the states that was badly damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Coke and Pepsi were both invented in Mississippi, and finally, a lot of their beaches closed last year because of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

     The final things we learned from Mississippi were the things they like to do at recess. We learned that they play football, amazingly, the boys do flips, and when their homework is not completed, they get recess detention. Unfortunately, that’s all we had time for in Mississippi, so we had to leave and head back to our home in Arizona. That’s all until next time.  Bye!
