{Partial} Solar Eclipse 2024

We were not in the path of totality for the 2024 Solar Eclipse, but we did have 88% coverage, so it was still a pretty cool thing to watch! All of our Texas friends and family were in the path of totality, so we got to see all of their excitement and hear about their experiences. Plus, it was a great way to add a little extra to our homeschool day! #science

We got our official eclipse glasses, and I made sure they were kid-safe {no chance of peeking over the glasses = the paper plate}. We pulled up some camping chairs, and joined our neighbors in the cul-de-sac to watch the show!

It was fun to enjoy the eclipse with our neighbors, and the kids really loved it! Maddie kept saying, "I love this. I love this SO much!" Haha. It was also fun to have Daddy and Mr. David there with us; it was just a fun party, watching the glory of God's creation.

I had also made a pinhole viewer for the eclipse. I didn't get a great photo of the eclipse part, but the viewer itself actually worked. 

It's crazy to think that the kids will be grown the next time there is a total eclipse in the U.S. I pray that we can gather again with them and look back at these photos and see if they remember it.

Until 2044! :)
