Solar Eclipse

 We were excited to view a partial (92%) solar eclipse in mid-August.  After weeks of hype, the big day arrived.  Our school system had an early release day so that kids could go home and experience the eclipse with their families.  When the hour came, we went outside with our eclipse glasses and watched as the moon passed between the Earth and the sun.  It had been cloudy all day, but it cleared out enough that we could see the action. We are not suppose to have another eclipse in our part of the country for many years, so I'm glad we were able to see this one.
