St. Louis, Missouri

    As we were finishing up our tour around the United States, we visited St. Louis, Missouri. Since there were lots of amusement parks there, we went to one. It was closed, so we went to the Mississippi River. We met someone there. She really like Missouri, so she told us everything there is to know about Missouri. She told us so much we just had to share it.

    She said we have lots of amusement parks, and they have two rivers called the Mississippi and the Missouri Rivers. They have about forty-nine state parks, and they have the two biggest hot air balloons. They have lots of facts, and we knew three of them. We asked for some more facts. She told us that there are two big cities, their state was named after a Native American tribe, and the first ice cream cone was eaten there.

    Some of the fun things we didn’t know about were that they have the St. Louis Arch, fishing, the Universal Circus, Kansas City barbecue, and great baseball games. The kids there love playing basketball, jump rope, monkey bars, and kickball. Some other things she told us about her state of Missouri was that it is called the Show-me State. They have all four seasons and their state bird and insect are the blue bird and the honey bee respectively.

    Well, that’s all the time we can spare on this state! Bye!
