Would you like some dust with that?

On Wed evening we went to Rawhide so the boys could see some of the Wild West. And what Wild West wouldn't be complete without a couple dust storms rolling through? The first one hit right as we got there.



They're a little intimidating to a midwesterner watching the giant wall of dust close in.



Thankfully, we headed inside for dinner and the whole thing blew on through. The boys tried rattlesnake (they're so excited to tell their friends about eating a snake!) and Jake ate corn on the cob for the first time (after all, his brothers were!).



We had a little time to check out the town, lock Ben and Matt up in the jail wagon (Ben predictably hated it and Matt hammed it up), and for the boys to ride a train, and then we headed over to see the cowboy show...





...just in time for the second dust storm to blow in. We decided to go for the authentic experience and ride it out while watching the end of the show.





I should have been thinking and snapped a picture afterward. We were all covered in dust. A little ice cream made the boys feel better and then it was home for baths!
