Chris' mom turned 60 on November 1 and we've all been plotting a suprise mission for many months. Our mission was named "Falcon Code LX11111" by Chris' dad and we all planned to meet up in Oklahoma City the last weekend of October. Bob & Ernie were already there, and she thought it was just a nice weekend for the two of them. Little did she know, the other 15 of us would be barging in Saturday afternoon for the rest of the weekend. The plan was for Bob & Ernie to take a water taxi through downtown Bricktown, then we would all be lined up on a bridge that the boat would pass under. We all held letters that spelled out "Happy birthday!"
Here they come on the boat...she's clueless. She even asked Bob, "Whose birthday is it?"
This is the view of us from the boat...Bob was taking pictures as well.
It's starting to sink in...
This is where she yells, "That's my daughter from New York City!"
And then the tears started rolling...we *think* she was happy to see us ;).
The boat stopped to let them off and they came up to the bridge to meet all of us.
Angie was the big surprise, as Ernie didn't think she'd be able to fly home until next year.
Mission accomplished!
