Then on Saturday it was Culinary Fest. It just so happened this year Culinary Fest landed on the same weekend as Andy's birthday...lucky guy! Yes, I have blogged about this event every year since I have been blogging because we have been going every year since we moved to AZ..and this year was no different. The only difference this year was the weather. Normally every time we go it's really hot and everyone is sweating and trying to stay hydrated, but this year we had some crazy weather. It was barely 50 degrees and ended up raining in the evening. This was perfect drinking weather and did not deter us from whooping it up for Andy's birthday in the vodka tent.
Just after 7pm it started to rain hard so they closed down the festival and we were booted out of the vodka tent. This was not going to ruin Andy's big celebration so we went to a local dive bar called Rusty Spur to keep the festivities going. At the Rusty Spur we got the bar to sing Happy Birthday with us to Andy. Then AJ got the band to do the same. You can imagine how thrilled this made Andy since he does not like to draw attention to himself.
After the Rusty Spur it was time to "feed the beast" so we all headed to Los Olivos for our annual meal to end Culinary Fest. Here is a group photo the waiter took of us. We then hopped in a cab to head home.
On Sunday, it was present opening time. I will only post one of the photos because Andy was not thrilled that I took many pictures of him opening all the presents like he was a little kid.
Happy Birthday Anders! Until next year.

Nice job Jaimi!!I love that everyone sang Happy Birthday to Andy in the bar and restaurant, after all it was his 30th birthday. He hates that kind of attention brought on him, that's why I used to do the same thing at restaurants when he was younger. Made me smile just reading your blog. :)
