Sandstorm

While Chris and Savannah enjoyed some Daddy-Daughter time this morning, my mom and I headed out for mani/pedi's and lunch. We ate lunch outside on the Jumeriah Beach Walk. Our table looked out to the sea. When we sat down the weather was perfect...mid 70's and sunny. As our lunch progressed we noticed dark clouds rolling in and the wind getting quite strong.. My mom even said it looked like it was going to rain. Much to our surprise we witnessed our first sandstorm instead. It happened so fast we really didn't know what it was until it was over. The restaurant quickly ushered everyone inside as sand forcefully blew across the beach and into the city. Although, I think this was considered a rather small storm, it was amazing how fast it started and then stopped and how much the visibility changed. The pictures are ones we captured after the fact, but you can still see some of the sand in the air and of the sand in our pool at the apartment. I continue to be amazed by the things we are experiencing.
