The eclipse.

The kids were crazy excited to view the  eclipse today!  They took Ben's welding helmet around all day looking at the lights and even the sun a few times to try it out. 

We were able to hold them off until seven, then I sat outside with them while they viewed to their heart's content. 

Jack looked a couple of times, he just enjoyed being outside. (Clothed only in his underwear, as always)

Abby LOVED it, she looked through it every 2-3 minutes. 

Ben came out with the babes for a few minutes, this was their spot.

Then he showed the kids how to hold a paper with a pin prick to see the eclipse. 

They enjoyed watching the shadows from the leaves.
