Eclipse

We got up last night to watch the eclipse. The kids thought it was pretty cool, especially Matthew. He can be a VERY hard sleeper and we weren't even sure he'd wake up, but he was very excited to watch the shadow move across the surface.


We took a few pictures of the moon but this was the only one that turned out at all. Of course it would have been nice if we could have zoomed into it more.


Here's Cassandra watching in our front yard.


At first all Matthew had was a blanket to keep himself warm, and he wasn't pleased AT ALL having to move his face from underneath the covers for me to take his picture! (Unfortunately that's not a great way to view the eclipse.)


Ahh...much better. I brought out Matthew's sleeping bag, zipped him up in it, and he was much happier. This picture doesn't quite show it because he was squinting in anticipation for the very bright flash about to come, but he's actually smiling and very content.
