What an amazing day this has been! We made it home just in time to have a quick bite to eat and head to the State Troopers fight hanger. Kayleigh was so excited to ride in a helicopter! I thought it was pretty awesome too. The troopers made her an honorary airmen with her own hat, coin, patch and badge. They even gave her permission to start arresting people!
We were delivered directly to the softball field where our awesome softball family had planned an amazing night for Kayleigh. People filled the park all dressed in purple to celebrate our sweet girl. She was made an honorary member of the UAB, UAH, Wallace State and Hartselle High school softball teams. Auburn sent autographed softballs, t-shirts, and special trophies for both Kayleigh and Grace. Senator Author Orr named her the state of Alabama’s “tough test softball player”. USSSA awarded her an awesome purple trophy. The Sherrie’s office made her an honorary deputy. The DARE officer gave her the DARE bear to keep. And then Magic Moments came to give our family an amazing Disney Cruise.
To put a beautiful cherry on top of this day we had some additional special visitors. Kayleigh’s sweet friend Anna and her entire family surprised us at the park tonight! Grace, Cole & Kayleigh were all
so thrilled to have them here. I was so thrilled to have Kelli, one of my dearest friends from high school here to share the night. My heart is so full!
Truly, I cannot tell you what a beautiful day this has been all together. Even the local news station came out to do a story on Kayleigh. She was so excited to see herself on TV :).
Thank you to our wonderful friends who made tonight one that will always be remembered. We love you all so very much!
I am attaching the link to the news story they did tonight below.
