This date night is totally a last-minute spontaneous one. You can’t ever plan on a great storm… so as they all say… be prepared!

Below is your FREE PRINTABLE invitation that our fabulous and talented Kristen designed! I put mine on the bed post, so when my hubby came into the room he saw it first thing! I’d already grabbed some blankets to keep us warm and set up the lawn chairs on the porch, all ready to go! While we watched our show, I made a list of cool lightning facts that neither myself or my hubby even knew! I guess we all learn something new everyday right? You can print that below! Just so you know, it explains the process in a way that children can understand. Simple. Just what we like! Lightning is impossible for me to catch on camera. I have tried and tried many times. Sadly I have failed each attempt. But this sure makes for a fun activity! See who can catch the best picture on your smart phone or trade off with the camera. I give you props if you can get a good shot!

These didn’t work as well as the ones you get rolled up in a pack next to the gum at the store. But you get the idea. We made our own sparks! It made for a very thrilling night! If you aren’t sure how this works… ehow gives a great tutorial!

And there you have it, the best last minute date night you will ever do! No meal prep, you only need to spend $1.19 on lifesavers, and it is educational and romantic at the same time! Whooo-hoo!!!
