Steve's 40th Birthday

This was Saturday night in Charlotte...

We checked into an RV campground just in time to see

a couple run over a fence in their NEW very expensive RV.

They had just moved their old 5th wheel off the site...

to move this on when CRUNCH.

Steve is trying to help pry the fence out.

Surprisingly, there was only minor damage to the coach.

The fence...well, not so much.

We started birthday day off at Charlotte, NC

meeting the Keys for breakfast.

Pops and Lette loved on Sophia...just a little.

The road (should) not taken...

This is Steve's "short cut" to

Smith Mountain Lake State Park
I had a blast in the Jeep...except when I had to

watch the bus take the turns or get passed

by another on coming car.

Smith Mountain Lake State Park

Little does he know the Shorts got to it first!

:) Balloons and banners by Kevin and Kerry.

Huge...HUGE thank yous.

Balloon gate across the site to make him stop

As you can see - he loved it!

All smiles as he exited the bus!

Kerry hooked him up with

"Over The Hill" Bling

There was a lot of action at the

birthday party that followed.

Louie found the Short's broom on their back bumper.

(out of focus due to laughter...12 years, still funny)

Kota had a limb fall right between his camper and boat

next door to the Shorts. No damage.

Other than Kota being rudely awaken!

It was more like a log falling...

Ken & Billy Mccaghren help clean off debris. Recapping the limb fall Steve, Ken Cook, & Kevin Short

Lighting the candles
(L-R)Kristen, Kevin, Pete Ponds, Jamie, Steve, Ken, Kota

Steve making a wish

(hope it was for big bass this week...)

It was a great party and made Steve feel wonderful.

Big thank yous to all who came over(it was raining on & off)

End of a long and fun 40th back at the bus, an "us shot".

Happy Birthday Honey Bunny!
