Total Eclipse

We were late on getting the eye glasses for the eclipse. So instead we made cereal viewers to protect our eyes. Not as cool, or as fun. The kids wished they could have seen it better and Maci called me a bad mom because she will never to be able to see this in a very long time! She threw it on the ground. We ended up watching some of it live on TV and could tell that it got a little weird with the sunlight and cooler.

Holland State Park Camping

We made our second camping trip of the summer to Holland State Park. We had a little rain on our first day and decieded to go to Dutch Village with some free passes the kids earned from summer reading at the library. The afternoon cleared up and we had perfect camping weather after that warmer days and cool nights for fires.
