A little sight seeing close to home

We went to a park close to the old homestead today.  As we were looking out over the water we saw another AlbinDSC07343 I think someone is trying to tell us something.

As we walked around the park we saw people dressed up in Renaissance outfitsDSC07349  I thought only Minnesota had Renaissance people.  I guess they like the warm too :).

I think there were playing some kind of game with a ball and a stick.  I bet those guys can run pretty fast in those kilts, hee hee.

Speaking of a game with a ball and a stick.  I am sure most of you know that the Twin’s Baseball team have their winter practice down here in Ft Myers.  Well our son-in-law is an avid fan so we went to Hammond Stadium and took a look around.

Now Gary and I aren’t big sports fans of anything.  Gary does enjoy the occasional woman’s mud wrestling ;). We have seen a few Twin’s games in our time so we were somewhat familiar with the concept of Baseball.  I didn’t realize how many players they actually had.  Holy Hoot, no wonder it costs so much for tickets.  There were a lot of guys here practicing.DSC07361

Or should I say standing around….I am glad we at least got to see them in action doing something instead of scratching and spitting.  Of course I don’t know any of the players so I didn’t know who to take pictures of.  You’ll have to excuse me if I didn’t get a picture of your favorite player.

We had a lot of fun checking it out and it was a very nice place to visit,  who knows, maybe Gary and I will catch a game or two before they head back up north, that is if I can drag Gary away from the water!

    Love the clarity of the photos here. You can almost sense the water flowing in that fountain.
    So, at some point, you talked about putting a canvas on the back of a boat you were looking at, in my mind I was picturing something like the one on the Albin in your photo here. Spring Training in Ft Myers, Bet Mark ate that up! Thinking your grandson won’t be far behind his dad in his passion for sports!
