You May Have Heard..... We had a Solar Eclipse

 I credit Queen 2's science teacher for lighting the fire in her that had us buying special glasses two weeks ahead of time and planning the picnic on the upstairs deck.

 Even Jack got in on the excitment. Isn't he so cute?

 I didn't get any good pictures of the ring of fire, but that didn't stop me from trying

 The whole thing lasted around two hours and you would think that staring at the sun for that long would be interesting but it really was. Pretty amazing really.

And we could see the eclipse through our fingers.
