#MERALD - The Grill Gatsby

The next day was the Grill Gatsby 1920s Great Gatsby themed BBQ and party at the manor.  for most of the day it was hangover time for many people, including myself.  Jet lagged, I woke up super early which made things even more awesome.









early at the pool



I feel you Cori, i'm dying and hate the sun right now also.



Mel gave Jen and I the task of decorating her Tee-Pee.  I'm guessing a tee-pee was one of her requests, I didn't ask I just said yes ma'am and then Jen, the art director, bossed me around and i said yes ma'am some more.  With a hangover that's all I could do.



Gucci the dog



it's huuuuge



Bob was talking about this lavender lemonade all day and I was like sure bob i'll believe it when i see it.  He's so lucky that they for some reason had a sweet electronic juicer.  Here he is getting all dramatic, like what am I supposed to do with these lemons?  Make lemonade bob make lemonade.  He asked if I would help him squeeze some lemons and I was like "No", i'm busy drinking beer.  Actually maybe that's why he's throwing his hands up.  Anyway I came back later just as the lemonade was finished and offered my help but it was already done.  hahhaha sucker bob.



Nice job ladies keep it coming!





and since when did Naveen make these "so good i'd punch a baby in the face for one of these" cupcakes and such?  A good friend would know that Naveen is an aspiring pâtissière but, you know, what am I supposed to do?



The beautiful Leung sisters.  The elder Leung on the right just got married recently too.



Bob's Lavender lemonade with freshly harvested lavender.  Nice job bob.



looks like there should be a girl in the foreground on the grass looking back a la Andrew Wyeth's painting.  I just looked at it the painting again though and its not a mansion at all.  oops

this guy, he should hire himself out as a party starter



hula hoops, cat stance dancing, jen saying punch me in the face, what is ramon playing to do with those wet wipes, mel two steppin', prosecco swiggin', Liz thinking about punching jen in the face, every kitchen utensil being utilized as a party tool, the party raged on into the wee hours again.  It ended with star gazing, asteroids huge asteroids burning up in the atmosphere and more prosecco.  What a gas.  It's not over yet though!  There's more tomorrow in this best endless weekend ever.
