Where
is Tex? Tex is at the
Ranch in Bay City, TX with Mr.
and Mrs. Normann-Petersen enjoying their family and celebrating Easter.
- What is the geography like there? Bay City lies in the southeastern part of Texas on the Gulf of Mexico. Bay City is a small farming community located in Matagorda County. Since it is on Gulf Coast the area is very flat with a few Mesquite trees and has had its fair share of hurricanes and tropical storms.
- What are typical foods that are eaten there? What type of foods do you and family and friends like to eat? Many types of food are eaten Ranch. Mrs. Normann-Petersen’s father-in-law is from Denmark, therefore we traditionally eat many Danish dishes. For example, herring, salmon, capers, rye bread, and Italian salad are served at Danish lunch; duck is served instead of turkey for Thanksgiving Christmas Dinner; but we do eat normal American cuisine such as crawfish, shrimp, and steak! For Easter lunch we ate Lamb Chops, Asparagus, Deviled Eggs, Dewberry Pie, Mrs. Normann-Petersen’s favorite dessert!
- What types of jobs are there? Many people who live Bay City are famers, or they work for the South Texas Nuclear Project, the hospital, or the local school district.
- What are the popular sports or games played there? What popular sports or games interest you, your family, and your friends? During spring time Mrs. Normann-Petersen enjoys cheering on the Sugar Land Skeeters and picking Dewberries with her husband and mother-in-law; during the summer we go fishing at the Bay House; and during the fall and winter we enjoy cheering on the Houston Texans.
- Where are you going next Tex? Give us a hint and see if we can figure it before you get there! Tex’s clue is at the end of this post.
- Tex, can you include any pictures of yourself and surrounding area and/or landmarks? Please see the pictures below of Tex’s Easter Trip with Mr. and Mrs. Normann-Petersen in the Ranch!
Here is Tex enjoying pink flowers, purple flowers,
and fake sunflowers.

Tex helped Mrs. Normann-Petersen drive the Tractor to the
Rice Field.
After working on the
tractor, Mrs. Normann-Petersen and Tex
went on a bike ride.
After all of
the hard work made Tex and Jake, Mr. and Mrs. Normann-Petersen’s German
Shorthair Pointer, tired. Tex and Jake took a nap together but not
before Jake had to smell Tex!
After nap
time, Mrs. Normann-Petersen was ready to dye eggs with Cousin Allison’s
daughters’ Isabel and Genevieve.
The next day
was Easter Sunday and Tex and Mr. and Mrs. Normann-Petersen woke
up early to attend 7:30 a.m. at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Bay City.
After mass we came back to hunt Easter Eggs, and play with the confetti
eggs! Here is Mrs. Normann-Petersen, Tex, and Jake looking for Easter Eggs.
Here is Tex being silly with Mr. Normann-Petersen
and his mother Cornelia. They were
having fun with the confetti eggs.
Tex like the Easter Egg Hunt and the Peeps!
After hunting
for eggs, everyone sat for a scrumptious Easter lunch: ham, asparagus, deviled
eggs, and dewberry pie. Tex liked the dewberry pie and
centerpieces the best!

Tex's clue for his next stop: This celebration
took place at St. Thomas More Parish in Houston, TX, and is where Tex got to assist in hunting for something the Easter
Bunny left in the grass. Can you guess
where Tex went on this next visit? Please email Mrs. Normann-Petersen if you
think you have a guess!
