Stopover # 2

Apple Valley, California: I think it might really be a valley...but I'm not too sure about the Apple part, as it is in the middle of the California desert.

I spent a few days here with my cousin, her husband, and their new baby (he's one year old!) Oh my goodness,that baby is so cute, but what a ball of energy!! I am not sure he ever stops. And at some point during the trip, I taught him how to be a monster...so now he walks around on his chubby legs, with his hands in the air, growling at people. I like to believe that I have made a lasting impression on his newly developed social skills, as I tend to bring the monster out of most little kids.

Overall, it was fabulous down-home stop in the desert. I will probably spend another night there on my way back home to Colorado.
