Ok, so we are not really stranded, but we can’t come back to the U.S. yet.

Not that I hate it here, I love it here. Really!

Micks visa won’t be ready for another few weeks. We were planning on being back in the states by the 12th of Feb. , but that’s all changed. Oh well. We are making the best of our time.

We aren’t in Cairns anymore. We headed to Thredbo (I don’t know how you spell it, but that is how it sounds.) for the Australian national championship race. It is Beautiful there!!!

Michael hurt his ancle really bad a few weeks earlier while riding a dirt bike. So he was having a hard time with the track, because it was soo rough.
But with some pain killer action, he had a really good race………until his chain fell off. How that happens, is a mystery, and will always be a mystery. But still, he came in soo fast. He lost it at the very top of the track, and still managed to pull in a 6.17, and the winning time was 6.6. It was a super peadally course.

Trace won by like 25 seconds. It was pretty crazy.

Then we stayed in Sydney for a few days with the Australian coach. It’s always a good time there.

Now we are in Scottshead visiting Micks Grandparents and his uncle. It is cool here. They have a little skatepark in there back yard. Seriously. They hold youth camps here, so they have a lot of things going on through out the summer. They are all super cool people.

Well, we are getting ready to go walk to the beach. So you all have a wonderful day, and I will talk to you soon!

RIDE’N ON AND ON!!!
