Solar Eclipse!

This is the safe and cheap way to see a solar eclipse!

 Virginia was VERY worried that we were all going to go blind!  She cried for a half hour prior to even going outside.  She was convinced that Rhetten was going to be blind and now she was going to have to learn braille to him him read!  I should have given her her little white pill for anxiety...it was CRAZY!  I finally convinced her that we were all going to live...after 40 minutes, she believed us and finally looked at it. 
 Here is grandpa trying to convince her that it was going to be safe and ok...as you can see, she was still covering her eyes.
 Grandma has the best spot.  She could laugh and see all of us enjoying it.  Too bad she had a headache...ouchy!
 Look at all those "box-heads".  We all look goofy, but we all got to see it! 
 Ahhhh, a sister moment.  I love it when she finally calms down and enjoys it all.
 Me and dad.  I just love being with him during all the cool stuff.  It was a memory night.  Good times for a daddy daughter moment.
 Here is Virginia finally laughing and really enjoying the moment.  I was very worried that we were never going to get to this part, but we finally did.
 Here is how Marianne enjoyed the eclipse.  She thinks that the neighbors dog is better then walking around with a box on your head.  She thinks that we are all very strange, or interesting...nope, the dog is better. :)
 Ahhhh, the Family!  Dad counts, even when he is the camera guy...we are enjoying the moment!
YES!  This is how the box worked.  You cut a square out of the box then cover it with tinfoil...then you poke a pin hole in the tin foil and cut a hole on the other side and put a piece of paper on the inside to see the reflection.  It was so cool to see it.  One in a million!
