Total Eclipse of the Heart ...

We are skipping half of school today ...

... because today is a very special day ...

... can you guess why?
Psss, look at today's date!!!

 It's a "once in a super long while solar eclipse" day!!!

Here is what it looks like using our pinhole cereal box projector!!!

Get your special glasses and your gossamer's out ...

... even Daddy wanted to see ... 
the moon is a'coming out to take over!!!

Emery says "Why can't I see anything?!?!?!"

Avery and mom: "WOW!!!"

Here is what it looks like using our special

 imaging glasses ... this is right at the start of the eclipse ...

 
... and then after a little bit later ...

 
... and then way deep into our first ever full Eclipse Day!!!
(note that from our location, this was the best 
moon coverage we could see)

Super cool!!!
