Thanks, JB. She worked pretty hard learning the lyrics and watching Kid's "Born Free" video to know how he did it. It was only about 45 degrees when we shot most of the video and at one point she asked me, "Dad, may we take a short 10-42 minute break so I can warm up my fingers?" :)
Our oldest daughter is 11 and was very bummed that the age requirements were 3-10. She rocked out "All Summer Long" for her school play auditions.
You would never know any of this went on if you talked with Mal. She's all humble and shy. I kept telling her she was one of the most famous 7-year olds in the county, but she was more interested in what episode of iCarly was on. :)
Kid Rock fans ARE the best. We are just one big happy family! :)

Wow Ty, didn't know this was your little girl. You and your wife must be so proud. That is so sweet. Job well done mom and dad! I'm convinced Kid Rock fans are some of the nicest people around. Big heart for little girl:)

Ha! We were told that Bobby had watched all of the videos and loved them. A friend of ours talked with him about the videos and she told us that HE brought up Mallorie helping out the Easter Bunny. Too freaking cool.
As her parents, we are super proud of her. As Kid Rock fans, we are excited that he followed the story as well!
