Sandstorm at Yuba

We saw the black clouds rolling in at about 11:00 and started taking down the tent. We had just gotten the sand filled sleeping bags put away when it hit. The kids were crying so we put them in the car. Ryan and I took down the tent in the Arabian sandstorm with our eyes closed. We couldn't see anything. We just wadded up the tent and shoved everything into the car. You can barely see the kids in all the stuff. These pictures don't show how bad it really was. We had sand coming out of our eyes, ears, nose, eyelashes, eyebrows, even places we didn't know we had. It took a few hours to vaccuum and wash the car and clean everything when we got home. What a nightmare, but quite an adventure!

To top it all off, we stopped in south Provo on our way home to pick up a twin size box springs for the bed downstairs. We were able to slide it above the kids heads inside the car. Too bad I didn't get a picture of that!
