AZ monsoon season

 We have gotten some great storms this summer!

 For this one in particular, we had Brooklyn over (my niece). Natalie recently developed a phobia of big storms (thanks to the extreme weather exhibit at the AZ Science Center) so she didn't want to be out there very much. I did manage to get a couple of pics though.

 The rain came down in sheets like someone unzipped the clouds. It was awesome.

 Our front walkway became a river. Every water retention basin (aka park) nearby was turned into a lake.

 Here are my timid children. I love how Natalie is holding her umbrella in the house.

It was also very windy! Look at brave little Emily checking things out. I giggle every time I look at these.
