Solar Eclipse

May 20
So apparently these things only happen once in like...forever! I knew it would be a cool thing to see, but wasn't really worried about it. While we were at Sherie's for dinner, she mentioned it and found out that the first 250 people at the City Water building would get free glasses. So off she went with my 3 kids! I met them up there when she called to say they were in line and would definitely get some glasses, but they were dying of heat. About 45 minutes later we were home checking out the Solar Eclipse already starting to happen.


We walked in the house at one point and saw that the light was coming through the shutters up on the wall and you could see it there! And also learned, that by creating a small hole for the light to go through, you could project it onto anything!


This was obviously when it was full, and the light was coming through all the leaves on the tree onto the house.
Pretty cool!
