Did you see the eclipse? One of our neighbors had a whole bunch of solar eclipse glasses, so we all got to see it. It was so cool!
This one was taken with sunglasses over the camera lens. It got really cloudy in the middle of it, during the "ring of fire" so we didn't get to see that very well.
And this is what it looked like through the eclipse glasses, which looked like those cheap 3D glasses, but the lenses were so dark you couldn't see anything except the sun.
All the neighbors were outside, it was like a party. Our boys especially loved it because we don't let them play outside on Sundays, and they tend to get cabin fever, so it was a treat for them to run around.
They say there won't be another solar eclipse for 18 more years, and there won't be another one that we can see anywhere close to here for 360 years. So for the next one we'll have to fly to Venezuela, or Zimbabwe, or something. Actually, I hope it's the Caribbean, and we have to get there by cruise ship.
