Day five from our California trip went something like this:

We woke up early because I wanted to ride again. My parents told me it was way too early for that so we went outside checking the animals. We saw some deer and rabbits and in the air some eagles. We took some pictures and finally I was allowed to put on my safety gear even though my parents told me we had breakfast first. Fully equipped I was standing in line for breakfast which started at eight o'clock. I took de cornflakes without milk because I couldn't find the milk and we met Mike McGill, one of the original members of the Bones Brigade who was picking up his kids who stayed at Woodward for a week for skateboard camp. I didn't toast my bagle or my bread because I didn't know you are supposed to do that. It tasted alright anyway.

I rode the whole day, drank a lot of Gatorade, took a little swim and ended the day with a goofy bowling session which I won! I entered the gate at 8 in the morning, and left the facility at 8 at night. I was toast but had the best time ever.

Instead of leaving early on Sunday to go to Las Vegas via Death Valley, we chose to stay for the morning so I could ride some more and head to Vegas afterwards in the shortest possible way. Perfect decision so I could spend some more time at Woodward West. The day was great. I wish I could live at Woodward. That place is the best place in the world.
