Venema camping 101

The Venemas can surely be camping folk, right?  Yeah right! Have you met me?! Since Hurricane Irene rocked us over the weekend, and took our power with her on the way out of town.  So we have definitely earned our camping badge this week.

We are on day 4 of being pilgrims. 

In all honesty, it hasn't been so bad. Luckily, we have a generator that is juuuuuust big enough to power the fridge, a fan, and the laptop. What more do we need any way?!  We do a lot of grilling, a lot of laying on the couch watching DVDs, a lot of bouncy seating, and a lot of snuggling. The weather has also been in our favor since the hurricane - not like a normal VA summer heat! It's nice during the day and cool at night. 

Phil's McGyver style pizza making skills.

And to top it all off, this mommy had to return to work with week too! UGH! 

Go Go gadget super balanced awesome career mom!

We are hoping that our power will be restored by the end of the week.  Until then... this how my evenings are looking, and I am totally okay with it.
