Solar Eclipse

To view the total solar eclipse last Monday, we went to a party my dad organized at the top of the mountain at a fire tower.  There were 12 in our party, and we enjoyed climbing up and down the tower and snacking while we waited for the total eclipse.  There were others there from Bryan College, and as far away as Hershey, Pennsylvania.  Heather's friend took these cute pictures of Eleonora while we were there.  She was doing some ballet (as usual).



Here is our family snacking and viewing.  Chris and the boys built some solar viewers out of cereal boxes.  In this picture, Chris is trying to take a photo of the view inside the box with his phone.  It was a beautiful place, and cooler and breezier than usual during the event.
Chris rubber-banded Eleonora's glasses to her face for part of the party.

It was a spectacular sight, and a grand time was had by all!
