Lucy Explosion Softball Richland October 2025

Love that smile!!!  We love Lucy!  Lucy plays for an Explosion team based in Idaho.  She has several fall tournaments.  This tournament was in Richland, just a couple hours away from us.  We were all in.  It was a fall morning for sure.  The temperature outside was not bad but there was a significant wind chill.  

We were all bundled up for spectating. This is the serious Justin. 

This is the silly Justin. 

It was cold!

Lucy didn't get a ton of action in the field this weekend.  When she did she did great.  It's hard to capture everything so I just clicked away and hoped for some decent pictures.  

I like this picture.  There was no throw to Lucy to tag the runner out but Lucy was ready if the throw came. 

Day two was much better for spectators.  Very little wind and a nice, cool fall day. 

Safe!

Lucy heading to third base. 

We always love watching our grandchildren and being a part of their lives.  Lucy is so talented and her future is promising.  God has blessed us with a beautiful family! Can't wait until the next time we get to see Lucy play softball.  She plays tournaments in several different states this fall. Perhaps we will have to do some traveling! 

 

Dodger and Mariners Birthday Game!

This was a great birthday present.  The Mariners and the Dodgers the last weekend of the regular season.  Thanks Mike! Katie helped us with parking and it was a breeze for sure.  

Mariners field.  It is Safeco or T-Mobile now?  We had great seats thanks to Mike.  We got them right 

after my birthday in May. 

I didn't take my camera so the pictures aren't great but the memories made were great.  

Warm up time for the Dodgers. 

The Star Spangled Banner!

Dave Robert getting ready to go!

Ohtani was the star of the show for everyone.  Each time he got up to bat the crowd stood and took pictures. 

We did too. 

Andy Pages.  

This might have been Michael Conforto. 

Ohtani on deck!

The fish race.  Fan favorite!

More Ohtani. 

Cal Raleigh the home run hitter for the Mariners. 

Hot dogs from Heaven.  The hotdogs came down from the upper deck in little parachutes.  I didn't get 

one.  I didn't really want one but it was fun to watch everyone going for the dogs.  

Dodgers for the win.  Both teams are headed for the playoffs.  I'll be cheering for both of them. 

Kershaw has retired.  He didn't pitch this night but it will be sad to see him go.  Agreat career as a 

Dodger. 

 

The Boulevard Race! 4 Miles of Fun

After you do something two years in a row I think it is a tradition.  This is 4 miles of fun.  This year Sheila and Michelle joined me.  Always better with friends.  

I think about 4,000 people joined this year.  This race raises money for cancer. 

These two were just having fun and moving to the music before the race. 

Here we go!

Lots of encouragement along the way for sure.  

I did not want to slip in this foam so I just avoided it.  Some may say I am getting old.  Old and cautious. 

Oh no! An older person is not worried about slipping.  

This was the first woman heading to the finish.  

DJs everywhere!

Bands too!

The home stretch!

And we are done!!!!! Great fun with great friends. 

Our finish picture.  We will be back next year!!!!!
