You can see the extra limo
The extra limo brought the design crew in today, and was used to stage limo shots just in case the REAL limo shot didn't turn out.
Smile and wave at the camera!
Sea of people
They're home!

Shock and gratitude
Blade holds onto Jackie, who burst into tears when they moved the bus. Aaron is to the right of them.
On the left, the long haired kid in the black shirt, holding the little kid? That's Blade, holding Mikhail.
Start at the left with Blade and Mikhail. Aaron is in the dark blue, you can barely see him. Moe (or Joe - they're twins and ten feet tall, I can't tell them apart), the other of the twins, Connor (in the pale blue shirt), Benson (in the red), Me'Gail holding him, and Max on the end. Jackie and Cole are in front of Blade.
The family celebrates
