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 ↓

CRAZY! Those pictures are so cool - almost worth living w/o power to get those shots?
Almost :-) Towards the end, Rachel said she was going to be sad when the power came back on.
dave, you need to teach me how to do those shots. i love them!
It looks alot like the big ice storm a long time ago in Rochester. I am sorry that my kids and I got sick while you were in AZ, but I guessed that you didn't want your family to get sick too. Next time for sure!
Those pictures are great! Everytime my kids complained of the snow or 17 degree weather, I just pointed out that at least we had heat unlike Uncle Dave. Sounds like you had more of an adventure at home than on your trips!
