First Monsoon

We received the first monsoon storm today and it was awesome! We were pounded by wind, rain, and hail for at least an hour and we loved every minute of it. The temperature dropped from about 103 to 64 in a matter of minutes which was a nice break from the summer heat. For those not in the know the monsoon as it is called is the annual summer storm weather pattern southern Arizona experiences. We receive about half of our annual rainfall during this season. Wikipedia has a decent explanation of the monsoon, feel free to check it out here.

After the rain we decided to take advantage of the suddenly cool weather and ate and played outside. The girls hopped in the jeep and cruised the backyard for a bit. Check out Erin's new bulldogish smile, what a character!
