Yesterday we got to do something really special as a family. Smokey (my father in law) was inducted into the Miami AZ High School Hall of Fame! The school and sports board worked really hard to make it a really full, eventful day for all those inducted and their families. We started out with a tour of the Miami Sports Hall of Fame Museum (a super extensive collection of school history and sports memoribilia dating back to 1912) and then proceeded to the new school (unfortunately the one Smokey attended has since been torn down). We were treated to a super yummy mexican lunch from a restaurant that Smokey used to actully go to as a boy. Than it was on to the ceremony where they honored individual athletes, coaches, and teams (all of which had to go through an extensive process to be nominated and than selected.) After the ceremony it was off to a reception for last minute pictures, and more visiting! It was a really meaningful day, and we are super proud of our super star!! Congrats Smokey!
