Cool day - the Great American Eclipse 2017. We thankfully were able to procure a couple pairs of eclipse viewing glasses, which were TOTALLY sold out two weeks ago. I had NO IDEA that these things would be in such high demand! Juliana made a cute eclipse craft at school today and Anna Claire and I worked on a National Park Service Junior Ranger Eclipse booklet that she can mail in and receive a badge to put on her Frontier Girls vest. :-)
I thought we were going to miss the whole eclipse due to cloudcover, but thankfully the clouds parted long enough for us to get to view the eclipse at totality (for us - about 90 percent). Very cool. Much cooler in person than in a picture, like things of that nature always are. Anna Claire was very excited, but then she was disappointed right afterwards because she thought it would be totally dark. Ugh. ::rolling eyes:: I think she will look back on it as a neat memory though. Juliana even went outside to look at it. She was like, "oooh, the moon!"
