Chloe was on the softball all-star team for majors this year. Lest anyone think it was only because Landon was the coach it wasn't. He actually went to the all-star meeting and didn't vote on Chloe because he knew how crazy our summer was also they were mostly taking older girls who were 12 or 13 and he figured Chloe would be in majors for at least two more years and get to be on an all-star team then. However, that being said her name was still brought up and she was voted in. There were actually 3 or 4 (littles) girls they brought on the team who were really young with the intent on training them for following years-they were all under the understanding that if the game was really close they might not get in at all and if they did it would probably be to do something like run the bases. However, if they were winning or losing by a lot they would get to play.
Game #1-they lost by quite a bit-Chloe got to play for several innings and she did really well. She got on hit and ran the bases without getting out.
Game #2-they won by a lot! I think it was 18-1 or something like that. So once again Chloe got quite a bit of playing time. This game ended up being super long-over three hours to be exact, because they delayed it twice because of weather.
Game #3-the lost this one by one or two points after going into extra innings. It was a great game-but too bad they couldn't pull off the win. The "littles" didn't really play except for the coach put them each in at some point during the game to run bases. Chloe ended up stealing second and scoring a run when it was her turn.

The team. Look how small the girls in the back are compared to those in the front-crazy!
All in all it was a good experience-Chloe learned a lot and had fun. The coaches were awesome and really cared about each girl on the team. Compared to all-stars last year it was a big improvement and much better experience.
