About a month ago I received an email from one of the staff with the city of Surprise informing me of a baseball clinic put on by the Texas Rangers; their spring training is held here at the Surprise stadium. I wasn't sure if this would be too advanced for Jayen but thought he would enjoy it anyway. I was able to RSVP before all the spots filled up. They were limited to 45 kids. Today when we showed up for the event I was blown away! There were players and coaches outside welcoming everyone into Dream Catcher Park (this is where we play buddy ball), on the fence behind home plate was a jersey stitched with each of the kids' names, colored wrist bands were given to indicate what group the kids belong to, and stations were set up with baseball skills but based on ability of the group that was at the station. This truly was a magical experience. We can't thank the recreation department, the Texas Rangers and all the volunteers who made this such an amazing experience.
