Here is our first real clinic with Coach Angel Bonilla where he taught us how to catch pitches. 

Kayla all decked out in her catchers gear. 

Here we are listening to the last coach explaining the basics of how to hit. 

Then we got to play a game. 

We also got to go fishing!!!

Emma could catch the fish but wanted nothing to do with cleaning and cutting it, she let me take over shortly after this photo. 

Mary with her prized catch, she had the first catch of the USA group. 

Kayla with her prized catch and a big smile on her face, which was quite a relief to see because she was crying earlier about really not wanting to kill a fish. I talked her through it telling her she didn't have to if she didn't want to. I think she was more excited when she got to play with the fish. 

We all learned how to filet, gut, clean and cut a fresh caught fish. I believe these fish were called Sea Bream. 

The next generation of sashimi chefs. 

About to eat our fish. 

This is me right before eating a fish eye, it surprisingly didn't taste like fish at all.
