Brain Game: Summer at Last

At least in our area of the country, this past weekend was the hottest and wettest we'd had all season. So, for today's Brain Game, I offer a word ladder in that regard. Your goal is to change the word SUNNY into the word MUGGY by changing one letter at a time to form new words. All other letters must be left in their original position.

I was able to do it in seven steps. If you come up with a shorter (or different) solution, feel free to post it in the comments. Good luck!
