Filling in the gaps

It has been brought to my attention I may have missed an event or two in LA. First and foremost considering my many references to food, should defo mention the trip to Yoghurtland! Now, back home frozen Yoghurt as an alternative to ice cream seems to be a newer concept and truth be told, don't think it tastes that great. But yoghurtland is a whole new experience. To begin with they have tons of flavors and you get these lil sample cups so you can try all the flavors before you decide. Plus they put ones that go well together next to each other so there's actually a special lever which you can pull and gives you a swirl of the two flavors combined together! So, after you've put whatever you want in your cup, the fun isn't over, you then get to decide from a massive variety of toppigs what should go on top. Ranges from fruit for the healthy to all kinds of chocolate bits and sweets, not to mention the sauces aswell! Most definately am an advocate of Yoghurtland now! As we were eating them, we decided to eter the competition to make the best creation using their products, with the winner receiving free yoghurts (up to a certain vale of course). Anyways I think we ended up doing like three different entries as we had so many brilliant ideas! ;)
Second thing I forgot to mention wasni got to meet another bit of the family. So we went for dinner with Stacey, Brooks and their daughter Ava and also cousin Kelly. Went for Chinese which had these massive crabs sitting in tanks by the entrance. Ava was unbelievably cute and friendly! :) and was nice to see them as hadn't met Kelly before and had only met Stacey and Brooks once before when they visited briefly, but there was no Ava at that time!
Think that covers missed items!
As for rest of last day in LA, after aunty donna finally got me to pack (much to her relief methinks!) we went for dinner at In and Out which Uncle David had been hyping up all week so I was expecting something good! ;) what was amazing was that everytime we'd driven past the place there had been a massive queue all the way round for the drive through and so naturally I thought it'd he really busy inside as well but it was really quiet despite the queue outside! Anyways, got laughed at as aunty Donna got is to have our photo with the server, at the table and outside underneath the sign! Food though was good, and pretty filling after all the fries and the shake in top of the burger. Went home, and played a round of sanco to round off the evening, which u Dave won (just). Was up early next morning and boys came with A donna to drop me off at the airport. Didn't really wanna leave as had such an awesome time, so thanks for having me! :) p.s coming back in two summers time and think alix wants to come too! ;)
