a solar eclipse ... kinda

with the solar eclipse a week away
i decided it was time to find some glasses
WELL ...
everywhere i tried was sold out

thankfully bekah had a few pairs she was willing to share

we got the glasses
practiced using them



AND THEN ...
the big day came

the moon started to cover the sun at 11:45
although it was cloudy/hazy we were still able to see the sun with the glasses
and it was pretty cool


unfortunately ...
about 40 minutes before the peak
the clouds moved in
and it started to down pour

we tried to drive and find clear skies
or even a hint of sun
but only found more rain


at that point ...
alex created his own eclipse


what a problem solver he is.

maybe next time we won't stay in minnesota ...
