Summer storms

One of the reasons we can survive living in Arizona is that we get beautiful summer storms. I love the dusty, muggy rain storms and the smell of the desert rain. It is a very distinct smell that comes from one of the plants that grows in the desert. When we do eventually move from Arizona, I think I will bring one of those plants with me just so I can pretend I am in the middle of a beautiful summer storm. We did start getting our summer storms right before we left on our real summer vacation. The kids loved it. They all wanted to run outside in the grass and jump on the trampoline.

They were all soaking wet and enjoying every minute of the storm.
