What an experience yesterday was for us! I was incredibly excited for the solar eclipse for weeks now and had been reading all I could get my hands onto. And of course gearing up for the big day. Glasses researched and ordered, activity book purchased, snacks collected and now it was just time to wait. NASA gave a great coverage and the kids and I watched that while we waiting for our peak time. Watching others go through it before us got the girls amped and ready for it to finally be our turn.
Thankfully the little guy was napping right during the partial eclipse so it was just the girls checking out the moon's travel through space across the sun. The girls tried moon pies for the first time, basically a smores cookie that how can you not love? We swung in the hammock during the cloudy periods and ran through the backyard to catch the eclipse with our high-tech paper glasses, cereal box viewers and even a colander to see the sun's light shine through the holes and reflect onto the ground as crescent moons.
An experience happy to have witnessed and shared with my loves.
A little glimpse of the moon passing over the sun through the clouds. The wonder of the universe never ceases to amaze.
