Lights out Tuesday was enjoyable

Lights out Tuesday was very enjoyable and fun. I came home from work and with the help of the children, started the camp fire in the back yard fire pit. Once the wood burned down to coals I put up some turkey sausage and had a good meal and a good time with the wife and kids.

Hungry by the light

We never did get to the games but we did tell stories to the kids about how we grew up in Brooklyn and Michigan while we sat around the camp fire.  The biggest problem was that I kept falling asleep once the sun went down, which seems like a no brainer, cool breeze, raging camp fire … old guy in the dark. 

All in all, it was nice; I would recommend it to anyone. We waste so much time buried in electronics and life that we tend to lose focus on what’s really important; each other.

After Judith put the kids to bed we slowly eased out of no lights but we did sit together in the dark and talk basically about the lack of light.  Only kidding, we did have some alone time just discussing things.

In closing I would like to know how come when you watch Little House on the Prairie and they are eating dinner with their one lantern it gives off enough light to perform a small operation but even with our two lanterns dark was dark.
