Hey Uncle Earl I just saw the coolest thing down here in Mississippi, looks like a fan of some sort. But it's actually a Alluvial Fan. It occurs when the rivers flow and empty into a valley and as a result it shapes on the bottom floor. I also happened to find many boulders around this Alluvial Fan.

Hello Grandma Jene! I'm down here in Mississippi and I just got done swimming in a river! There wasn't many people or animals around here. Rivers usually shows that the environment is inhabited or inherited next to a river or stream. I found an awful lot of finer or coarser grains around this area. It was a lot of fun! You should've came with us.

Howdy Aunt Shanicka! We just got back from the deserts of Colorado! We saw many wild and exciting things over here! Desert is a dry area, not much life is around, also the water is very limited and the area is full of sand and cacti. There was an abundant amount of sand here too!

Yo Cousin Hannah! We just got back from this nasty looking area that looked like it was drenched with flooding water. It was very disgusting with nasty creatures all around it. This is a wet area with trees all around inside pond like water that is dirty and sometimes full of bacteria. I found out the name of this is called Swamp. Eww this isn't one of my favorites.

Hello Aunt Judy! We went sightseeing and saw many beautiful things such as this long outlet of some sort. I found it was a Delta and its the outlet of a river than it leads out the freshwater from the river into the the ocean and salt water. I also found many small rocks and pebbels around here. This was tons of fun!

What is up Cousin Billy! We rounded up our vacation today with a visit to a beach. It was nice and beautiful with the clear water and comfortable sand. I found out that this is where land and the ocean meet each other. As a result, beautiful secenery like this gets made. Until next time! Take care!
