This Week's Crazy Weather

I am not complaining by any means but this week's weather has been really strange for Arizona. First of all we have stayed relatively cool for it being the end of May. Then all of a sudden on Monday and Tuesday it jumped to about 106-110'. Now today (Thursday) it was rainy all day and was only in the 60's. The kids loved playing outside in the weather. They didn't know what to think. We don't see rain very often and they were just sweating to death two days ago.

Here are some pics from this week. Anastasia had her last homeschool PE class for the year. It is through AIT and it is awesome. There are anywhere from 25-35 kids that participate. We meet weekly for one hour and their coach is great. Joshua is so excited that he gets to particpate next year.

The little ones play on the playground while Anastasia does PE. This was Tuesday when it was almost 110'. I told the kids they could play but today I would be sitting under the awning and not moving!!

We had a year end picnic and the coach gave out certificates to the kids. Under the shade with a breeze it wasn't that bad. But we all took showers when we got home to cool off.

Now this was today, Joshua checking out the hail. It hailed for about 2 minutes. If you look closely you can see it.

Catching raindrops.

They wanted to play outside in the rain. These desert dwellers chose a blanket instead of a tarp to put over the slide. I don't think it quite worked like they wanted it to.

Here's to hoping the cool weather will stay a little longer.

Although hopefully it won't rain tomorrow as we are planning on going camping....in our back yard. The kids are so excited and this was our compromise since I can't really travel anywhere right now.
