Andrew's 30th: Hamptons Chic party

Last Saturday we celebrated Andew's 30th birthday. His invitation read: Dress code-Hamptons chic. We live in Los Angeles. What's Hamptons chic? This is our take on it.

By the way, the dinner party was very sha sha. Kudos to Drew for the planning and compliments to Chef Seong and his many sous chefs.

Cocktails and Hors D'oeuvres preceded the dinner. Look! Real strawberries and lemon in the strawberry lemonade.

Our host and celebrant, Andrew

Love the table and setting.

Menu- I think my favorite were the spring wraps and the honey butter, but really, everything was delicious.

Here's something for you. Guess the shadow. Who do you think these two are? I don't remember.

Gwen's Gauntlet

It's been awhile since I've posted something. What can I say? I was super lazy. Anyway, I was super excited about my birthday this year, not because I was entering a new decade, but because it was going to be really fun.

Thanks to everyone who came and played with us. A special thanks to my brother, Jason+Trishia and my parents for all their help. You guys rock!

Next time- DODGEBALL and KICKBALL!

This is the Taco Man, Jesus. Jesus and his brothers served pork, beef and chicken tacos a la cart, literally.

Here are Sofie and Sake chillin' under the shade.

THE NEXT DAY

The overnighters and I checked out the Fourth of July sales at the Camarillo outlet and had lunch at Wood Ranch. Then I headed to my uncle's house in Casitas Springs near Ojai for the weekend "family reunion." My uncle extended an invitation to distant Antonio relatives to his house for a weekend of camping.

It was really hot up there. The slide was a great way to cool off.

This is one of my uncle's ATVs. Unfortunately, a 10-year old girl and her brother got hurt riding it. Got to be careful!

Here's the baby bike that I think Ja had a little bit too much fun with last year at the rafting trip.

The woman on the left is the first lady of the house, Auntie Lita and on the swing is Auntie Moore. The temperature on the clock read 80 degrees and it was 7pm.
