Sweetheart assisted the science teacher
with a chemistry demonstration

This student had a vinegar reaction science experiment with story

Then the Science teacher magically transformed himself in a magician.
The children were amused at his jokes and attempts at magic.
"Abracadabra"

Pie in the face ...... winner or loser?
Depends how you look at it.

There was so much to do........We had FUN tonight.

I also had the opportunity to meet some of Fifi's friends.

Good times for all.... and to all a MAGICAL night.

Tonight Cookie had a jump rope performance.

The jump rope team performed half time during the University of New Mexico Men's Lobo Soccer game against Denver State University.

This is the first time we've attended a UNM Lobo Soccer game.
 The collegiate soccer match was very intense.
The fans offered loads of spirit and support.
Tonight the UNM Lobos took victory over Denver University 6-0.

We had a great time rooting for the Lobos, the jump rope team and Cookie.

 "Everyone's a Lobo

Woof Woof Woof"

"We are Lobos

Mighty Might Lobo

Everywhere we go

People want to know
We are the Lobo team"

The half time show was a crowd pleaser.

In perfect timing with the music

Today is the pep rally for the football players and their upcoming games.

The crowd on the football field is full of prideful football players, boisterous cheerleaders, confident coaches, spirited students and supportive parents and siblings

The high school drum line was beating powerfully as cheer and excitement was in the air.

One of the coaches echoed this statement:

TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK

(Sounds inspirational to me)

It was a good time for players, students, coaches and families to get to know one another.
There was plenty of hotdogs, sub sandwiches, popcorn, cotton candy and snow cone for all who attended. The parents of football players were asked to bring a side dish. So plenty of otherwise "healthier" fare was available as well. Bam and my girls enjoyed all the excitement surrounding the event.
At nights end we all left with plenty of spirit and pride.

Everyone was awaiting the football players to take the stage for introductions

Yay cheerleaders

Hurray for the  coaches

Go Team! Go Bam!!
