A Total Solar Eclipse Birthday Party

Today we celebrated the boys' birthdays with a most unique and unforgettable birthday party. We skipped school and work to experience a total solar eclipse for 2 minutes and 37 seconds at 1:17pm today. The last time St. Louis experienced a total solar eclipse was in the year 1442. We celebrated with a viewing party at Grandma and Grandpa Cline's house in Festus because they had the longest duration of totality in the area. It was truly a phenomenal experience to see the moon eclipse the sun. Here is NASA's photo of the eclipse in St. Louis.




What an amazing experience!
