I am finally taking a few minutes to update everyone on our great weekend in Minneapolis! Wyatt had a very busy, memorable day. We started out with a 5k walk. We headed out of the Courage Center parking lot and ended up at the new Target Field. Once we arrived, the kids had fun dancing with mascots, getting autographs from Twins players and eating a ton of food. Wyatt received his 'Be A Fan of Courage' Award from MN Twins player, JJ Harding and his family. The emotions were very high - we were told once that Wy may never walk and he just finished a 5k - talk about courage!!!
After the ceremony, we went to get a little rest before the baseball game. Once we arrived back at Target Field, we were escorted to the playing field and waited for Wy's opportunity to go to the dugout. Once we got to the field, Wy and mom got to go in the dugout and dad had to stay back with Whitney & Waylon :-( Whit was pretty upset until TC (Twins mascot) came by and hoisted her up and played with her for quite some time. I do have to say that all the people we encountered from the Mn Twins, they were all very kid-friendly and went out of their way. In the dugout, Wyatt met Adam - the official bat boy! He again was great! Wyatt got to help take the first ball and the rosen bag to the pitcher's mound before the game with Adam and 'chat' with a few players and even the manager, Ron Gardenhire took time to thank Wyatt for being there. Wy had a great time in the dugout! After all of that, we were escorted to our seats and sat back to watch the Twins beat the Mariners!
Everyone from the Courage Center and MN Twins were absolutely fabulous and made sure that Wyatt had a very special day - thank you to everyone!
PS - Team: A Wish 4 Wyatt raised over $3,000 for the Courage Center - Yeah Team!
