Total Solar Eclipse

 This year, on April 8th our town was in the path of totality for a solar eclipse. Our cousins from California came in for the event and eventually lots of other family joined, too. Camden made a slide presentation and a Jeopardy game. The eclipse happened at 3:06 and lasted a bit over 3 minutes. Everything went dark as if it were dusk and you could see a ring (the corona of the sun) around the moon. It was so cool! We were blessed with a sunny day (amidst many days of rain and clouds). It was truly an amazing experience!
