Arizona Summer Fun!

Arizona is weird, most of us don't go out in the summer. It's like everyone else's winter. We do have Monsoon Season, that brings in some crazy lightning shows and humidity and sometimes even rain and flash floods. We love the rain. If you have ever been in a school when it is raining you would see all of the kids go crazy like they have never seen rain before, and head out to go play in it. Outsiders like my husband, are shocked that we would behave so strangely.

My son got to experience his first good monsoon storm today. We cuddled up in Daddy's blanket and stood in the garage until the tools started getting too wet (because the rain was going sideways). We went out to the "porch" and got soaked for a few minutes to keep watching. We finally decided to watch inside from the windows.

Colton did really good with it, he wasn't sure if he liked it or not until there was a really loud burst of thunder that made me jump. He started crying for a couple of minutes but was fine afterwards.

If you are in Arizona and don't do it already, take the time to enjoy these storms, they are a great experience and we don't get them very often!
