Today was a hot one (in accordance with the usual July day in Arizona). After a tasty Sunday lunch with Mark & Autumn and Tom & Krista, we all agreed that an afternoon swim was in order. We each went our own way to let lunch settle, with the plan to meet back up at Tom & Krista's for the swim.
After a little bit of down time, Kevin and I got all ready for the pool, lathering on the 50 spf and dressing down into our swimsuits. Sure, there were some growing clouds looming above, but the wind wasn't blowing yet, and there was no promise of rain.
We set out for Tom & Krista's house, a mere 5 miles away.... Halfway there, our windshield was met with a couple of drops, which were rapidly joined by a subsequent downpour the further west we inched. By the time we arrived, it was torrential! We laughed about showing up at the doorstep in our swimsuits, ready for a pool party. We joked about how we should greet Tom or Krista when they answered the door.
We were the ones in for a surprise as Krista turned the corner from the side of the house, drenched in her swimsuit and surf shorts, with a broom in one hand. "Hey guys!" she said, "Go on in, it's open!" We went to the back yard to find Tom trimming a bush as if it were the most usual thing to do in the rain. These are our crazy friends... doing yard work in the monsoon downpour.
The result of this monsoon madness?
A pool party, Arizona style!
Good thing Kevin put on the 50 spf and remembered his wide-brimmed hat!
Fun times! We felt like kids again!
