Solar Eclipse 2017

We were not above getting into the frenzied excitement of solar eclipse last week.  We didn't plan ahead to get our glasses, so the morning of Abe dropped the girls off at the local library to get in line for eclipse glasses.  The library had 200 pair and their ended up being a crazy long line to get them.  But they were successful!  We didn't stay at the library for the viewing party, rather we hustled home to our neighborhood park.  We sent out a message on our neighborhood Facebook page and were delighted to hang out with friends for a couple hours throughout the whole thing.

The little ladies.

The bigger ladies.

Chillin' on the grass.
Most of the time the kids were running around playing and just checking out the eclipse when urged by their parents to do so.

Greta didn't like the glasses, but she also wasn't in danger of looking up at the sun.

Being at the park with our friends and family, watching the really cool phenomenon, was a most enjoyable way to spend a Monday morning.

This was my favorite!  Little Evan (his dad is also Evan) was Greta's best friend.  He was so cute in playing with her.  She would kick him and he would exaggeratedly fall backwards and she would belly laugh so hard.  

  She was so tired and he was the only one she wanted to hold her.  He was such a trooper.

Eventually she fell asleep laying on him.  Greta usually goes to sleep in her bed, so it's pretty unusual for her to fall asleep with anyone holding her.  I love that it was little Evan because he is so much like Clark in many ways.  So of course, Greta, who loves Clark so much, would also love little Evan!
