The boys were out of school to enjoy the solar eclipse. At first I thought it was crazy but it was really neat to see this with the boys. We talked about it for a little while and explained it. They were like yeah, whatever. But afterwards they could not stop talking about it.
When I told them it was time to start watching they thought it was going to be completely black outside. Jackson said the deck was too hot so he stood ON his shoes instead of wearing them and Miles was mad because his glasses would not stay on. Carter just wanted to stare at the sun.
A few minutes later they could really see the moon crossing in front and it was the neatest thing ever! The sun was shining but there was no heat from it. Totally awesome! I felt like I had sunglasses on and needed to take them off. There was a strange "glow" outside.
Michael's coworker's husband posted these pictures that he took during totality. (We could have driven 45 minutes to see totality but what we saw was perfect and there was no traffic.)
Seriously... this is what it looked like near us. How amazing is it?!?
