And with June, comes summer.
It's time for pool parties, Otter Pops and air conditioning because Arizona summers beg for it. It's hot out and we know it's only going to get hotter, so we're going to do our best to give you plenty of things to do that don't require being outside, under the sun, in 100-plus degree weather.Β
