Visiting Amanda in the beautiful California Desert

We spent the first couple of days of our vacation at Seaworld and Legoland, but opted to do "water days" where we knew that we'd get wet, so I left the camera at home and simply enjoyed our time in the sunshine. Thus, our vacation photos officially begin when we arrived at Amanda's house to meet Baby Molly for the very first time. As you can see, Kel was instantly smitten. He has proved a wonderful big cousin to his newest family member.

While visiting Amanda, we had to make a trip out to my favourite local spot, the Trona Pinnacles.

Kel did a good job pushing Miss Molly around the site on a relatively cool 104 degree afternoon.

There was much drinking while out in the dry desert air.

Some shots of the Pinnacles.

Railway tracks with the Pinnacles in the distance.

Upon our return home in the evening, Baby Molly needed her dinner of avocados! As you can see by the happy faces and the bright green mouth, this baby may have been born in Guam, but she is a California girl at heart!
