During this rare event, we lived in the best possible location to view the Solar Eclipse! We did not buy any special equipment to watch the eclipse, but we found out how to make our own 'viewers' thanks to Kara's science teacher. We looked crazy and several people honked, laughed, and came by to ask us what we were doing, but at least we saw the eclipse safely! Well, most of us did. I found out after that Jeff, Kara, and Brooke kept peeking directly at the sun!!! NOOO!
Some pictures:
