Bath in a blackout

We had a cold, dark but very adventuous holiday in Walpole. There was a wild storm the first night we were there, and two whole days and nights with no power. With mum and dad away, Prue and Tyler managed to figure out the generator to get the pump working and water flowing and we gave the candles a good burn. The storm left trees and branches down all over the farm.
The kids were getting smelly so we heated water on the pot belly stove and gave them a bucket bath. They quite enjoyed it. Elijah tried to sit down in the bucket but got a bit stuck!


My turn!
