Camelback Ranch and Golf on Wednesday

Cell phone pictures again.  

Well this was exciting.  Camelback Ranch houses the Dodgers and the White Sox.  We stayed on the Dodger side of the facility.  Dodger colors everywhere.  The Dodgers were practicing and we got some close up looks of the players.  

Well, Keri and I took a tour of the facility.  I was listening to the instructions of the tour guide but Keri wasn't.  She tried to get my attention.  Mom, Mom, Jackie, Jackie!  That's Othani!!!!  His body guard said not to take pictures but Keri did!  Here he is! 

I finally heard Keri and say Ohtani fade behind the wall. 

And of course Keri took a video of me ignoring her. I tried to post it but it didn't work.  I think it has something to do with the setting on the phone.  I should research it.  Next time!

This was on one of the 4 practice fields.  They have 4 major league practice fields and 3 minor league practice fields.  The White Sox have 3 major league practice fields and 4 minor league practice fields. 

This little boy ask a minor league coach for his autograph.  So sweet. 

This is coach Shoemaker (12), a minor league coach. He has been in the organization since 1977. 

Each giant ball represents the MVP of the league!

We just missed an autograph here.  He is new to the Dodgers and I can't remember his name.  He signed a lot of balls.  We got there just a little too late. 

I don't really enjoy golf.  I really balked at this golfing thing but this was a very unique course.  I had so much fun.  I was totally wrong about the whole thing and I am glad I participated. 

The three grandkids kept talking about having a virgin Pina colada! Kristin decided to surprise them at dinner before our golf game.  

Here's the Pina Colada group!  They were very surprised.  

Here we go!

A little walk to the frozen yogurt shop for an after golf treat! 

It was a great day and a fun night with the family.  

Easton Golfing Day 2 May 17, 2025

Grandpa Mike and I were really excited to see Easton golf.  So glad he had a tournament on Saturday.  Good timing.  Both of us were impressed by the skill level Easton showed us.  Pretty sure Grandpa Mike was still talking about how good Easton golfed the rest of the day.  Its tee time!!!

I took a lot of pictures as we followed Easton!

Unique environment!  We got to hear the cows mooing while we watched Easton. 

The cheering section.  You can't actually cheer until the end of each hole.  Golf etiquette you know. We all watched in silence until each hole was completed.  

Thanks for letting us know.  

When I first took this picture I thought the coyote was real.  Then I noticed it didn't move.  Not real. Fooled me for a minute. 

Grandpa Mike and I stayed for the first 9 holes.  The weather was turning and Mike just had surgery on his eye so his eye was getting sore.  Nothing serious, cataract removed.  

Easton was on the 18th hole when there was a delay because of lightening.  Unfortunately, his group had to wait it out.  They were almost done when the delay was called. 

The tournament was over and it was pizza time!  Make your own!  Mark cooked each one separately in the pizza oven! Yum! Here we are creating. 

Creating and then eating our creations!

The time had come.  We all got our Wisconsin gear on for the group picture. Thank you Keri and Mark for buying us all gear to represent where Ryland is off to college.  

We all made the Wisconsin W.  We had to practice doing the W before the picture to get it right.  

What a day!  Golf, food and family. Thanks to the Doolittles for hosting us and creating a great memory. Graduation is next!
