Happy 60th & 31st Birthdays!!

Shad's family prepared a BIG surprise for their wonderful Dad, Steve. It was his 60th birthday and they wanted to do something great for him. They came up with surprising him this way... It first started by telling Steve to come to Vegas to go golfing with Doreen, Shad and Cory. They told him they set up a tee time in Boulder City. We all drove out there to drop them off and Shad "accidentally" passed the golf course and went to the airport, which is just passed the golf course. We pulled into a hanger and this is what greeted him.

Almost the entire family was there to surprise him!! He still wasn't sure what was going on until Shad told him to turn around and look at the sign behind him. It said "Sky Dive Las Vegas". Apparently, skydiving is something Steve has always wanted to do so they decided it was time to make this dream come true.




Doreen, Cami, Shad and Makenzi all decided to join him for this adventure. We counted the sky diving adventure as Shad's birthday present too. Since their birthdays are a day apart.


The first parachutes!


Shad landing... we have fantastic video of the jump too but I couldn't get it loaded.


On the ground safe and sound!!

Shad's friends and coworkers decided to join in on the fun. We got a group discount so it made it a great deal. Thanks guys for coming and supporting Shad and his Dad.


We then headed to Cami's house to swim and have a family BBQ. We also presented to Steve an awesome book of photos and letters that our family (The Rollo's) had made at the Shutterfly website. It was a collection of memories, thanks and love from all who care for Steve. He loved it! It was such a special day and we will definitely never forget it!


Happy 60th Birthday Grandpa!!

XOXO The Rollo's
