Solar Eclipse

5.20.2012

One of the bonuses of Eric and Hallie going to the BYU Astronomy Festival, is they got glasses to see the solar eclipse!  We went up to my parents house to watch it.  It was neat to see, and fun to watch Hallie.  She was so interested in it, and wanted to look again and again.  Eric had asked for an extra pair of glasses at BYU and the lady told him, "oh, your little girl will only look for about three seconds and then won't care anymore."  Eric knew at that point that wouldn't be the case, but he didn't press the issue.  Our Missy Mae loves to learn and is so curious about the world around her, which I just love about her.  I need to be more like that myself.

 Eric discovered that he could take pictures through the glasses to see it.  Too bad the power lines were right in the way.

 My dad also pulled out his welding mask so we could look at it that way too.
 Hallie needed to look again and again...
 ...and of course had to try out the mask too.


 Little Paige, not quite three weeks old, just slept in her carseat.
