We had a wonderful opportunity to see a total solar eclipse. August 21st there was an eclipse and the path of totality when through Idaho. Austin's dad (Grampa Long) loves solar eclipses and has been to many and invited his family to experience this one with him. A few days before we went to Paris, Idaho and camped at Grampa Long's cabin. The day before the eclipse we traveled to Victor, Idaho and camped in a large field with many other eclipse watchers. We had a great time with family that weekend and seeing a total solar eclipse was really beyond description. The temperature dropped, it got dark and what the sun and moon looked like was something that pictures do not do justice.
The kids along with Grampa Long put on their tin foil hats and marched around the field. People thought it was awesome and some even wanted to take pictures with them.
It was a wonderful weekend with family and a great way to witness one of the wonders of the earth!
