Blustery!!!

I had the four youngest out in the pool tonight.  Tanner was out with me as well.  We could see a dust storm approaching in the distance but I didn't think it was coming as fast as it was.  Turns out I was wrong!  Tanner asked me a couple of times if I thought we should get the babies out of the pool.  I kept saying no, that I thought we had a couple of more minutes.  All of a sudden I looked again and started yanking litttle kids out of the water as fast as I could!!  They ran for cover and I ran to the door and yelled for Levi to get outside asap!!!  Within seconds we were in the middle of gale force winds, whipping through our backyard!  Our eyes were burning with dirt that was being blasted against us.  I could taste the dirt in my mouth and feel it covering my teeth.

With Levi and Tanner's help, we got the pool net on and ran around, grabbing all the towels, clothing, cushions, toys, etc to put in the bin so they wouldn't blow out of the yard!  The four little ones were huddled by the back door screaming.  It got almost so dark, we couldn't even see! 

Finally, we headed in the house and watched our pool become covered in a layer of dirt.  The poor filter will be exhausted after it finishes cleaning the pool tonight.  I suspect we will need to clean those filters tomorrow!

 Can you believe how dark it is??  Could not even see the neighbor's house!

Crazy wind storm!!  I love it when it does this!!!  So fun!!!
