Covered in dust

Huge dust storm last night - or Haboob,
yes, it has a name. I did not take this
picture - we did not see it coming till
the air was filled with dust.
Tons of amazing photos on the Internet.
Spent the past 2 hours this morning,
cleaning up the pool
and hosing down the entire patio and
everything on it!
Such a mess!

4th of July weekend 2011

We spent most of the time out in the pool.
