Eclipse

[e.j.]

I explained what was going to happen using a light and a few Styrofoam balls and then we did these crafts:

I didn't plan to go out and view the eclipse with the kids because they're so young. I wouldn't trust all of them to keep their glasses on while viewing it. It's nap time anyway so....they're asleep as I type this. Wish I could give it a peek, though!

We stayed inside. I don't trust the kids to keep glasses on and didn't want to risk eye damage.

I took a peak outside though

We were in 100% Totality. We watched on the tv then went outside to darkness and look at the total eclipse. It was a wonderful day. I had parents who were off work and brought their kids here.....they missed out. I hope Helped with a lasting memory, but I do know we had wonderful moments today.

I didn't quite get the "traveling to totality" hype, but now I do. I can see how cool and how different it would have been than it was here (92%) -- it was still neat, but I can see how traveling would have been worth it!

I had parents that were off, but brought their whole family for 30 minutes just to see totality because of where my house sits ( they had kept the kids home before they came over)... it was cool, set off my solar lights & there were enough adults for each of us to Rangle one little who didn't understand what was happening . Between all of us & neighbors it was a last minute Eclipse party between 2-2:45pm. Water, fruit, cameras, glasses & bugs that went wicked crazy when the "lights went out"

My dh lined all the kids up andput his welding helmet on each child and lifted them up to our skylight so they could see the eclipse. Even the 12 month old go a picture sent to mom with his gieant helmet on. Half of them didn't know what they were looking at they just wanted to wear "paps" hat. LOL

And yes his helmet is rated the highest you can get because of his welding work.
