The Great American Eclipse!

If there were sound to this photo, you would hear crickets chirping!
Today (8/21/2017) we witnessed something historically spectacular! Mom picked us up from school after lunch and took us home. The entire ride I couldn't stop taking about what I had learned at school about solar eclipses. When we got home, the eclipse was just getting started. With special glasses, we were able to look directly at the sun to see the moon slowly cover up the sun. An hour and a half after it started, the crickets started to chip, it got dim outside and through the sunglasses I saw just a thin crescent through the glasses! How cool! I'm so excited that I was able to witness such an amazing event!
