What an amazing weekend!!!

My son, all by himself, thought to surprise me at Connecticut Renaissance Faire, this past Saturday. I was working there and it’s been almost 2 years since he’s been to faire. So, since August he’s been in cahoots with my daughters, my husband and a number of people at Faire to arrange this.

Ben came home Thursday, 10/8

Hee! Your face was pricless.:) It makes me misty-eyed looking at the pics and remembering. It was good to see Ben again. He sure as hell has gotten loud though. Guess they make them yell alot in the Marines so he's had practice. LOL

yeah he sure has a real LOUD doesn't he. He blew me away in more ways than one. He looks so much better in person than on the web cam.

Ohhhh Pansy!! What a beautiful moment! I teared-up just reading your story, and then the pictures sent me over the edge. Your boy looks like a proud mama's dream, and you look radiantly happy in the final two photos! *hugs*

Hey Vix!!! My kids are the best! I can't believe they have been planning this for months.

That is absolutely awesome! And it just goes to show how very good Marines are at improvising, adapting, and overcoming whatever comes their way. :)

Marines, go figure. Do they teach a class on how to blow you mother away? It seems everyone on base was in on this too. freakin' amazing!

Now you've gone and made me cry. :)

[valbearie]

you? I still burst into tears when I think about it all and when he left this morning to go back I cried for an hour. He is amazing.
