Trip to Tolar for First Playoff Game

Well we left Sulphur LA on Thursday morning about 8:30 AM and arrive in Tolar about 5:45 PM. What a long day this was. .we visited some with Lauren, and then Mike and Jana came back all of us were tired and not feeling to swift so we went to our RV early and got ready for the big /day on Friday. We went to the pep rally and really did enjoy it. Had the funniest skit with a couple of teachers and dads and grandpas. It was so funny.  After the pep rally we went back to RV and waited for 2:45 so we could go and get Lauren out of school early and went to see the team off to the game.  It was a good hour and a half to the stadium from their house.  We started fired up and never let up till the last few minutes when the boys were getting to anxious to run before catching the ball. 64 to 12 was not too shabby. Hope they keep up the good work this week and advance another week in the playoffs.  It would be a great GIFT TO GET TO KEEP ON PLAYING.
