Eclipse

We had all heard about the eclipse that was supposed to occur in Az

around sunset on Sunday.

But with the happy insanity of preparing

dinner for 14

I kinda forgot about it.

Jack is the one who remembered. 

It was really eerie as the eclipse progressed.

I read that the best place to see the progress was by looking at it 

through dappled sunlight.

As you can see, the outline of the moon

is clearly seen on the wall.

This occurrence will not happen again until 2036.

It was hot.

The girls had a blast running through the 

sprinkler in their undies.

The two youngest members of the gang.......

having some fun in the sun.....
