The Actual Birthday Party

I don't exactly know how many of us went to the lunch party, but maybe 50?  It was held at a beautiful winery in Fallbrook.  It was obviously a great time to take lots of photos of family.

My dad and his 3 brothers.
The enormous table with flowing bottles of wine and family style pasta.
Of course some cup balancing games.



My dad, his brothers and their wives.



After the party we went back to my uncles magical house.  He literally built the bricks and the house himself.  Its on a sprawling mountainside complete with orchards of fruits.  It's a perfect place for large gatherings and holds thousands of my childhood (and now my children's childhood) memories.

Between the orchard and fruit picking and the very old dirty trampoline, the kids all left looking pretty ragged, tired and like they had a lot of fun.

The same trampoline, slide and teeter totter my cousins and I played on as kids.  Still being enjoyed by the next generation.


Its absolutely a perfect place.
