Tex, the
Longhorn, went swimming at Mrs. Normann-Petersen’s friend’s home. Tex answered
the following questions:
1. Where is Tex? Swimming
and sunning bathing at a friend’s pool in their backyard in Houston, TX.
2. What is the
geography like there? The pool is
nestled in the backyard of a friend’s house.
Since it is located in a backyard, you can see the house, the pool, the
sky, some grass, and the friends that are with Tex. There
are many houses, streets, vehicles, and mailboxes close by. You can hear you and your friends having fun
in the pool, the birds, and cars driving by.
3. What are typical
foods that are eaten there? What type
of foods do you and family and friends like to eat? Food
is not allowed inside the pool, but you can eat food at a table in the pool
area. Swimming makes everyone
hungry. Some good, healthy food choices
to make include, but not limited to the following; yogurt, apples, bananas,
turkey sandwiches, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
4. What types of
jobs are there? Lifeguards, swimmers,
and parents are the most common job at swimming pools.
5. What are the
popular sports or games played there?
What popular sports or games interest you, your family, and your
friends? Swimming of course!
6. 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.
7. Tex, can you
include any pictures of yourself and surrounding area and/or landmarks? Please
see the pictures below of Tex’s swimming extravaganza!
Tex enjoyed
sunbathing after he swam. Of course he
put on sunscreen to protect his skin!
