Pro Am

Today was the Pro Am Golf Tournament at Pebble Beach. I'm not much of a golf fan, but Ben bought some tickets for cheap that a classmate won in a raffle, and Pebble Beach is right close, so we made it a family outing. Ben tells me it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, so we had to go.

Tip: Golf tournaments should be on your top ten list of places NOT to take your kids. We had to walk A TON and it just so happened to be the day that C wanted to be held constantly, and of course Em, wanting to be treated equally as C, also had to be held constantly... so we had to lug them around everywhere! And you know how it's supposed to be super quiet when the golfers are putting? Well, C was shouting the whole time at the Metlife blimp in the sky... "blimp... Blimp! BLIMP!!!" totally disturbing the peace. So they were a handful to say the least. But I did get some SWEET pics.
(BTW, it was totally prohibited to take pics, so I had to be super sly with the cell phone.)



This is the first celebrity we saw... George Lopez. He's wearing the fedora hat on the very left.


Next we saw this guy... the coach of the 49ers, Jim Harbaugh (guy on the right for those of you who don't follow football).


This was a very funny thing that happened. One of the golfers (can't remember who) hit the ball directly at us standing behind the rope. Everyone covered their head in fear of getting hit. It landed just a few feet from us. Can you see it? It dropped right in front of this unsuspecting lady who was walking along the path. It totally surprised her and as a natural reaction she bent down to pick it up. Everyone screamed, "Noooo!!!" and stopped her just in time. It was hilarious. You can see the official trying to clear everyone away from the ball.


And of course you have to recognize this guy, Bill Murray. He was sooo funny... totally played to the crowd.


Check out his getup.


And the last celebrity we saw was Clyde the glide Drexler from back in the day.




Here's Clyde playing on the 18th hole.


Me carrying C... she would cling like a koala bear if I tried to put her down.


Daddy and his girls just seconds before he dropped Em on her head. True story. The worst part was we were standing at the base of the bleachers, so everyone saw it.


And I had to throw this one in for good measure. I took the girls to the beach with my neighbor friend last week and we spotted this character there. I probably shouldn't post pics of complete strangers, but this guy was genuinely PROUD of his beachwear. Californians really do march to the beat of their own drum. I love it!
