Our New Little Athlete!!

Today Ava had a super-fun preschool field trip! A dad of one of her friends in class used to be a professional baseball player for the Mets and now runs a training facility in Woodinville. He invited the class there to play and learn a little about baseball. Ava gets to watch a lot of baseball, but hasn't really been in on the action before. She seemed to love it!

Her teacher gave each of the kids a beach ball with their name on it....Ava's sleeping with it tonight so she must like it!

Sadie wanted in on the action too....she wore a helmet the whole time. She must have felt safer that way.

After the kids ran around and played for awhile, they practiced hitting with their beach balls. Ava impressed everyone with her swing!

Here's Jose' pitching to Ava. She was doing so well that he switched to a tennis ball. She was a hitting machine! Even after most of the kids lost interest, Ava was still hitting away.


High five for a job well done! They went inside and made ice cream sundaes to finish up their time. Ava had a blast.....we might have another ball-player in our midst!
