Dad has always been good at surprises, but (to quote Garrett) I think this was his best surprise yet!
For mom's big birthday this year, Zach and Andrea gave mom and dad tickets to the Chick-fil-a bowl (FSU vs. South Carolina). Zach and Dad saw this as an opportunity to bring the fam together and after a bit of plotting and a few phone calls in addition to Z&A coming, Garrett, Nicole, Logan, and I also had tickets. Of course, we didn't tell mom.
The footage below is really just for family because it is long, raw footage, shot with my new camera (ie: mostly out of focus), but you can catch the highlights at the times posted below. We decided to reveal ourselves one by one...and it was HILARIOUS!
See for yourself. (Mr. T suggests selecting 720p on youtube)
