It was a simple trip over to Fountain Hills, AZ…

Just fifteen minutes east to get a little change of scenery from the heat.

What I didn’t do was watch the weather channel before we left.

I didn’t know a monsoon was headed our way.

We ate at our favorite local Italian place and had plans to let the kids play at the splash park {It looks like Research Park at College Station… gig ’em, Aggies!}

After dinner, we walked outside and the breeze felt perfect… that should have been my first sign!

What followed was an amazing cloud to cloud lightning storm.

It was peaceful and beautiful.

Full of sweet questions and silly stories.

These… are my favorite kind of nights.

Happy day,

Kate
