total eclipse!

the girls had zoo camp on the big day! we had the chance to see a total eclipse!  it was truly a once in a life time opportunity and was fantastic to see.  we decided to drive out to the country where it was better viewing.  since the girls had zoo camp in that area i decided to spend the afternoon at the zoo with them.  

we visited all the animals 

and spent 2 hours at the park. then it was time to meet chris and nate

ellie!

getting her view on 

yes, we used welder helmets 

girls power

nate. he was thrilled!

i wasnt looking at the sun with my sunglasses! i used a helmet too but this is the only pic of me there 

its happening!

it was around 4 pm when it happened. very cool to hear the song birds come out and the hear the peepers!

and it was over 

it was worth all the hype!
