Last Thursday we began our journey....and journey it was.....to the first away game of the football season. Reserve New Mexico was the destination. The Darlings each boarded a bus,
the cheerleaders and the JV team rode together, and the Varsity team took another bus.
The night before, The Darlings made a visit to the community store, "La Manzana Verde" to equip themselves with what they call a "lunch." What it looked like to me, was a bunch of junk!
With the "lunch" purchased, bags packed...football gear washed... they began the drive.
Reserve, New Mexico, is in the middle of no-where, located about 5 hours from where we live.
Thursday, the teams made it to Silver City, NM. They checked into the hotel, had a little dinner,
made a visit to the local Walmart and settled down for the night.....sort of.
The next morning....Friday...after a tasty breakfast at the hotel....they headed to Reserve,
another 1 1/2 hours away. I followed along with the buses and enjoyed the scenery!
It is a beautiful drive.
I found myself stopped along the side of the road....many times....taking pictures;)
The JV played first.....and scored a touch down on the first play.

The Varsity Cheerleaders even did a few cheers for the JV. Afterall, 4 of the cousins were on the team....and 3 of the cheerleaders were their sisters!
Cousins Jackson....Max...The Rooster....and David....
The winning Lobos!
The Rooster has now had his first away game....been tackled by a boy 3-4 times his size....

Wow--sometimes I wish we lived in a town where you know everyone--instead Clay's freshman football team has around 70 players and I don't know most of them! Great pictures!
I love the second to last picture!
