You know you live in Arizona when...

So I went to check the thermometer today, it said 96 degrees, not bad for June in Arizona right? Too bad to was my POOL thermometer!!! Only in AZ can you not feel refreshed by jumping into a pool in the summer time. It was something like 112 degrees here on my patio today. HOT HOT HOT! Braden was in the pool 4 times before the day was through. We had fun day here at Grand Central Station. Our pool is open to our friends anytime and on every other Wednesday my friend Meghan and her daughter Alli come swimming while their house is cleaned. Today our Bunco friend Paralee came too. After we were done my great friend Jess brought us some lunch on her lunch hour (thanks Jess)I tried to talk her into a quick dip, but she didn't want to swim in her scrubs, lame I know. My Mom's pool is being remodeled and so later she came over with some of my sister's kids. Then she traded and the other one came and we all swam again. I am actually pretty tan for me, in big part thanks to Powell, but man oh man, I got fried today. Totally a swimming pool burn because it is just my shoulders, chest and face. Love it, ha. So I am counting down the days till we head to our condo in Utah, some actual cold pool water will feel soooooo nice! Braden's swimming lessons are nearing their end for the summer. This is his 4th season with Courtney and he is getting the breast stroke pretty good, He still struggles with backstroke, he can't float on his back to save his life-- yeah, I know-- and today they worked on butterfly. His diving is amazing and I hope that next summer we can get him on a dive team. Hopefully tomorrow I will remember to wear sunscreen in the pool, because if it is another hot day again, and it will be, then you know we will be in it at least once.
