Eclispe of the Sun

JJ and Emma but mostly JJ have been going on and on about the Eclipse that was happening tonight.
JJ begged us to go and get the special glasses so we could watch it but we just really couldn't go.
My parents came and took the kids to the cabin, and while they were here my dad mentioned a box you could make to see the eclipse.  While the kids were gone to the cabin Jeron and I decided to hurry and make the box so when they got home they would be able to see the eclipse.  It was actually pretty easy to make.  And it was a lot of fun to watch.
It was so much fun it drew in the neighbors.  As we were watching a single cloud in the sky went across the sun right when it was at the climax of the eclipse.  It was crazy.  We were a little bit bummed but it was still pretty cool what we saw. 
I really wish that I would have taken a picture of what the eclipse looked like in our box. Oh well I will have to wait for 22 years before I can do that again.  I hope JJ and Emma liked their eclipse box.

Maybe you can use it when Venus goes by the sun.
