A few days after I dropped the Australians off at the airport I was back picking up the Belgian.

Unfortunately for Evelien and Morgen I had to work, so no fun adventures today...just busy work to fight jet lag and boredom.

Lunch buddies.

Quick visit to the etnies offices after lunch.

Thanks for the gear etnies!

Amy to the rescue...now the fun begins.

Family diner night.

Followed by a dance party.

This is what you look like when you are really excited to see a movie you've been waiting for.

This is what you look like when jet lag makes you fall asleep in an $11 seat and completely miss the whole movie you were so hyped to see.

After our visit with the Queen of Minkler we made our way to the Element YMCA Skate Camp.  Lacey warming up on the box.

The Aussies were hyped...as usual.

Kat hitting the rainbow rail.

Rhianna getting her canoe on.

Happy Campers!

This was a big accomplishment.

After the sun went down we taught Lacey how to play Monopoly, then watched her win.

Lacey was the Top Hat.

Caution!  If you miss the first step when exiting the RV you may end up with a face full of dirt...just ask Rhianna.

Family portrait on our way home.

A skate trip isn't complete without underwear shopping.  Right Kyle?

After skating the Santa Clarita park we had a long detour at Super Wal-Mart, a 3 hour drive and a night of entertainment provided by Rhianna's "Jammy-Jams".  So many great blog cam moments that were mysteriously deleted while I was sleeping that night.  Hmmmm...

We got to our motel really late and woke up to these ledges just outside our door.

Breakfast of champions before our visit with the Queen (forgot to take photos!...see blog cam below) and skate camp.

Time for Element Skate Camp, but not before stopping off at the new Santa Clarita park on our way out of LA.

Lacey gives the park a thumbs up.

Kat, Morgen and Rhianna getting ready to watch Lacey's one woman demo (+ Kyle).

The Aussies LA skate tour continued this weekend starting off in Long Beach with Amy Caron.

After a quick warm up at Cherry Park Amy took us to another park down the street where Kat got her front rock on.

Amy backside smith.

The girls had been wanting to see the Vans Skatepark, so that was next on our list...after squeezing in a visit to Krispy Kreme where we watched fresh doughnuts being made and ate them straight of the conveyor belt.

Vans Skatepark in Orange, Ca.

Rhianna skating the famous Combi Bowl.

Kat 50-50 down the hubba.

Kat kickflip.

Earlier in Long Beach Rhianna had made a proud 99 cent purchase at a Liquor store, later that night the secret purchase was revealed in all its glory.  Why would a small Liquor store in Long Beach be selling these?  Who buys these things...other than an excitable Aussie?  All I can say is she got her moneys worth, you will be seeing more of the "Jammy-Jams" soon.
