Jessica and Josef were allowed to stay up and watch the moon enter the earths shadow. The weather down here was perfect for watching the eclipse, but right at the end high cloud blew in and we didn't see as much of the red moon as we would have liked. The children were absolutely thrilled with this experience and full of amazing questions about what was happening.

it was an awesome experience for them to watch
WOW! YOu got good photos! :( Our little camera wasn't up to the task!
So cool that you got to see it!!! And the photos are FABULOUS! The weather up here was soooooo atrocious last night (hail, pelting rain, wind) so there was no chance of seeing it :-(
I bet the kids will remember this for a long time! Hope they take the photos to school for news!
Glad you got a great view, we thought we would miss it due to high cloud but got a good view later in the evening. So glad you let your kids stay up for it, I remember a solar esclipse when I was young. It was very exciting. Great photo too, I tried but my camera got nothing.
Cool photo's Julie,I haven't checked ours yet.
