Such was the case for the Johns family, who gathered together at Falls Park bridge in Greenville, South Carolina to take a picture together.

Little did they know, Jared Johns, an Army soldier who was home on leave from Germany, had coordinated a little surprise for his mama, and he cleverly incorporated it into the photo session.
