Family Fun During a Power Outage
Parents of small children know that power outages can be a potentially unnerving experience for youngsters. Power failures are often accompanied by fearsome storms; the flash of lightning and roar of thunder can be frightening indeed. It’s up to parents to subvert that scariness, turning a power outage into an opportunity to bond as a family and have fun despite the hectic conditions outdoors.
It’s the perfect time to dust off a few board games, sit down at the dining room table and grab a few Pelican flashlights. Light a few candles and place them at the table as well. Before long, the kids will become so wrapped up in the game that they will forget about the lack of electricity and the storm outside. Technology can be a great thing, but occasionally it’s nice to get back to basics.
