Response to surprise 2/10

Everything went (almost) perfectly as planned. We contacted and liaised with Serene, the organizer of the CampVision weekend camp.

Ten of us gathered quietly in excitement outside Labrador Adventure Centre at 11pm, and waited for the moment.

On Serene's cue, we sneaked into the canteen with a Cedele chocolate pistachio cake and two dozens of doughnuts. Then we waited after setting up the perfect birthday ambush.

And the surprise came, for us, when Thomas turned up behind us. You can hear the original plan briefly described in this video by the one who 'spoiled' the surprise. :P
