2017 Solar Eclipse

Last Summer we experienced an incredible Solar Eclipse and I've been keeping these photos on the desktop, just waiting for me to post them. :)  We didn't get the total eclipse experience in AZ but Chris and Kristy did in Missouri which is amazing!  When the moon covered the sun for a couple minutes it went dark and they could see a faint ring around the sun.  Wish were were there but even the partial eclipse was amazing!  I even got a little emotional thinking about God's creations and His love for us.
Here's the eclipse at it's fullest in AZ through Elliot's sun glasses.  I took the kids out of school to see it.  Elliot and Avery went back to class after its' peak but Zara is half day so she came with Rupert and I to Andrew's work after.
 All the leaves made half moon shadows.  So incredible!
 Here's our homemade cereal box experiment Andrew helped the kids make.  It worked!
One of the teachers had a pair of these special solar glasses we could see the sun with, and was nice to share.  They sold out so fast or we would have had them too.  How did you experience the solar eclipse last year?
