Yesterday was Derek's 29th Birthday! 29! That's practically 30.
We had fun last night at the Santa Monica Pier listening to music and drinking wine at our beach birthday picnic. Last weekend we all went horseback riding through Griffith Park to celebrate.

(And some of the winter months too!) In fact, there was a brush fire in that same area a few days after we were there.
It was a really good time despite how sore we all were the next day - I think Derek had the most fun out of all of us. His horse was named Colonel Mustard and looked just like his horse he had when he was growing up. Here are some photos that he took...
