"I am an Air Force veteran and had just returned from a 4-month deployment to Afghanistan as a civilian contractor. I planned this surprise for about a month. My kids didn't know I was home yet, so they weren't expecting anything. They love Bigfoot, so I decided to buy a Bigfoot costume to help with my surprise...
When I saw them coming home from school, I ran behind our fence and hid in the trees. My wife had them come outside and play in the yard as soon as they got home. While they were playing I was growling, as you can see from the video. When I son decided to investigate the sound closer I moved out from behind the tree and started growling some more. Once they saw me, they all immediately ran away.
My two daughters were were a little more scared than my son, and their screams were genuine. My son noticed it was a costume when I climbed over the fence, so he was laughing. The kids loved the surprise, and have been talking about it non-stop for the last week."

That was awesome. My screen is all blurry for some darn reason. Thank you.
Very cute. Welcome home, Dad.
Excellent !!!
Great ending. The kids didn’t pull out the family Mossberg and waste Bigfoot.
LOL! Great video. Thanks
Thank you for your service!!! And the video!!!
When I was a preschooler my father, to earn some extra money, joined the Air Force Reserve. After being gone for a couple of weeks he came home, looking forward to seeing his little girl.
I saw him, and was frightened by his uniform. When he called to me, I ran away screaming.
I’m in my fifties now and Dad has never let me forget that incident.
