No Power and Lightening

For some reason this summer, we have had more power outages than ever.. and they all seem to happen around dinner time... when I haven't defrosted anything, or had a real plan.... *sigh*

The last one, I grabbed the brats ( not brats as in kids, brats as in hot dogs)  and the marshmellows, and we all headed outside.  The boys got a fire started and we cooked out !

and we watched the lightening move in.  I tried to do that timed exposure thing, but I am not steady enough with out a tri pod - but I loved the coloring





The best part about cooking out?
No cleanup for me!!  They all took care of it!



Batman made an appearance.
This was actually a great idea - it kept the mosquitos off of him,
And Puppy joined in.... although he was mighty upset that no one would give him their food!



Dog decided she was a lap dog.
I am not sure how a 70 pound dog thinks she is a lap dog...
But she was not moving!

I think tonight should be another cook out night....

  4. Even when the electricity is on, a cook out is a great idea. Saves the cooking energy, and the A/C that would run more to compensate for the cooking heat.

    The lap dog is a result of thunder. Our dogs were afraid of loud noises, too. The Fourth of July, crazy!

    Love your pictures. You did capture some lightening!

  5. Eating under the stars, by a fire, with a storm rolling through, is my favorite way to eat! Hope your electricity turns back on before the freezers thaw! :)
