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....
A cookout sound like a great idea, power or no power.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful family memories.... everyone will recall this day with great fondness in the future!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun time was had by all!! LOVE the pix, esp the clouds.
ReplyDeleteEven 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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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!

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! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the lightening shots! Hopefully you've not had a power outage in the last couple of days.
