Soldier Surprises Daughter At School In Mascot Costume

A military mom returned from duty to surprise her daughter in the most unique way – by popping out from inside the school mascot’s costume. Ahead of the tear-filled reunion, Brooke Powers, 9, and her class were told that they were set to receive a visit from Boomer the Bobcat, and so the group eagerly lined up awaiting his arrival. Plucking Brooke from the class at Blades Elementary School in St Louis, Missouri, the school’s principal then asked her to draw a ball as part of a game before, as Brooke went to sit back down, she was told to wait for another announcement. That was when her mother Katie Herrell dramatically removed the mascot’s head reducing her daughter to tears, before the pair embraced as Brooke's classmates watched on smiling.
