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

Tex went through the bouncy obstacle course and found Mrs. Normann-Petersen’s niece 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 coffee!

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

Tex's clue for his next stop:  This is one of Mrs. Normann-Petersen’s favorite activities to do during the Fall and Spring Seasons when the weather is cooler.  The activity is an outdoor activity where you spend the night outside and roast marshmallow on a fire!  Can you guess where Tex went on this next visit?  Please email Mrs. Normann-Petersen if you think you have a guess!  cnormannpetersen@stmorenews.com
