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!!! 

Time for "Back 2 School" already??!?!?!

Come on little buddy ...

... it's your first day back at school ... 
and for Emery it's a new school at that!!!

We must eat well ...

... chew chew chew your food, and don't choke.

And especially rest well before your special day back!

Uuuuugggg!!! OK, here we go!!!!

(Notice I wasn't really exited for the actual school part)

But now it's time to start ... 
here is Emery's kindergarten class ...

... most kids have first day chills,

but Emery was a champ!!!

And Avery quickly got back into the school routine 

again too ... especially starting with Robotics!!!

But in the end, there are always some that 
get scared with major change!!!

Stay VaCa Time!!!

 

 We are READY for our great escape STAY-CATION!!!!

With great food ... RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ...

 and great fun "Daddy, I wanna go on the big slide!"

"AAAhhh ..."

"... AAAhhh ... it never ends!!!"

Uhh oh .... "I can't even see you, my bruise 
from the slide is swelling over my eye!!!!!!"
