The "American Solar Eclipse" passed through on August 21st and, while we couldn't make it to an area of complete totality, we were in an area that got 94%, so it was still very significant.
On NASA's website, I found plans for making Cereal Box Viewers, so I made 3 for this kids to use.
Testing them out worked well, so we were ready.
Unfortunately, Just as it got close to time, the clouds rolled in.
We hustled south to an area where it was clear and we were able to see it right at peak and then the light clouds made it so we could see the eclipse without the boxes. it was a very cool sight. WE were so blessed to be able to witness such a rare event.
After we got back home, we had a treat: Krispy Kreme made "Eclipse Donuts" with chocolate icing instead of their traditional white.
