Total eclipse of the sun

So the 2017 eclipse had a path of totality that came right over Idaho Falls.

At first, I didn't really know that this is a big deal. But, oh my goodness, it is!! Three of my brothers decided to come to Idaho Falls, because my parents are nice enough to let everyone stay at their house. So, by default, I was in charge of the family reunion at my parents house! We had a fabulous time!

 The sprinklers were set to go off every night at like 6:30 at my parents house. This made the kids decide that they would rather run through the sprinklers than eat dinner, because, of course!

 Instead of putting on swimsuits, they opted to take the clothes off!

 So interesting to see the different shadows while the sun was being covered

 We went to Taylorview Jr. High to see the full sunset. So very cool.

Okay, so it was way cooler than I ever expected it to be. At first, I was just excited to have my brothers come play with us. But, seriously, it made me an eclipse chaser. I'm pretty sure I will be at the next solar eclipse! Seriously! It was also so very fun to see all the cousins playing together! So much fun!
