We lost power Thursday night, and got it back on Monday night. Dave came home Friday night. It was a long time without power. But we had a working gas fireplace, hot water, and a gas cook top. The kids missed four days of school. They were ecstatic! We went to see the movie Bolt, and the Boston Children's Museum. We also got creative with the camera. Here's a little documentation of our electricity free time. :-)

The sun sets at 4:00 pm. So we had to find things to do when it was dark. The camera was one of the distractions ...along with Dave's PSP and Rachel's iPod and Nintendo DS.
This picture ↓ is an image of Rachel "writing" in the air with her flash light.
It was so dark, that Dave and the kids created composite images by using a flash light to highlight different places of an image and moving around during these long exposures. It made for a few fun images. None of these images were edited using Photoshop. ↓
Our family room "camping" arrangements. This was the only place in the house we had heat. Wander too far away and the temperature dropped into the 40s and 50's.
This shot of Ethan just makes us laugh ↓
