Originally we were not going to be around to experience the Total eclipse. But since our trip was delayed we excitedly prepared ourselves for this awesome event. I picked up a book called "the disappearing sun" its a disney fairies book, very cute and is based on an eclipse! The kids love Tinkerbell and the Never land fairies, so it was perfect for a quick introduction to Eclipses. We also spend a good amount of time reading about the elclipse and what being in the path of totality means and the importance of keeping our eyes protected.
I wanted to do a project with the kids to help them remember this event, so we made these really awesome t-shirts! Everyone helped to their own.
All the shirts drying!
It was so much fun! They really turned out so great!
We all wore them the day of the eclipse.
We taped the kids solar glasses to boxes and it looked like we had a bunch of robots walking around! Really enjoyed it!
Some of the photographs I captured! Pretty happy with them!
Totality!
"Diamond Ring" No filter, right out of the camera! Was so so so thrilled I got this shot!
All in all, this was a pretty cool event and I hope to catch another in my life time. Totality was AMAZING... oh man, I mean the rest was cool too, but there is nothing like seeing and feeling Totality. If you missed it , put it on your bucket list. Seriously!
