Here are a few pictures of
Tex having fun at Okotberfest!

Tex went through the bouncy obstacle course and found Mrs. Normann-Petersen’s neice and nephew, Riley and her big brother, Connor, enjoying the same inflatable.


After he jumped in the bouncys he took a break and helped Mrs. Normann-Petersen pick out some plants for her home.

Tex’s next two stops were the confetti egg booth and the raffle ticket booth.





 
Tex needed to take a break from the sun so he headed into the gym to pick out some good gently used books and STM spirit hats and bags from the Spirit booth.






All of this fun made Tex hungry for something sweet to eat and something warm to drink.  He went to the Sweet Shop.  There were so many choices he decided to eat a Peach Cobbler with a cup of hot tea!




After he was finished Mrs. Moreno-Garza surprised him with a yummy banana muffin!
