Ashlynn's face explains her feelings toward the Bee.

The kids listening very intentlyThe kids were invited to participate in a free baseball demo class for the last 2 weeks. A new facility based out of Las Vegas called "Frozen Ropes" opened up in North Salt Lake and they were looking for a few kids to demo the class for the little tykes. (And if your curious what Frozen Ropes means, it a perfect line drive)
They had their grand opening this Saturday and the kids showed off their skills that they have learned through the class. This place was amazing and truly heavenly for any baseball player. One of the many neat things was the baseball pitching simulator. It is a giant screen with a projector showing the image of a baseball pitcher throwing the ball and a ball would be thrown through the hole on the screen. It was unbelievable!
Anyway, Bumble the Bee came by for a visit and Ashlynn was not happy about that. She was scared and didn't want to be in the same room with him. She was on the field when the Bee came close to her and she ran to the nearest adult (who by the way plays for the Texas Rangers)to rescue her. Her picture is seen above.
The video below is Ashlynn hitting the ball and running the bases. She did very well. If you listen closely you can hear the bases honk when they are stepped on. It is to help the kids learn to touch all the bases. Matt and I were thinking they should use the honking bases in the Majors. What do you think?

What a fun thing to participate. Who knew Ashlynn could hit, run, and slide - a superstar in the making. I'm with her on the giant bee thing - I would have run to the nearest adult too.
