A painting of the eclipse (red because it’s darker) – Art by Khloe
Our tiny view of the eclipse through a pin-hole camera
Boxes, foil and tape,
wondering children marvel
as sky lights shake hands.
Pin-hole cameras
Hayden and Khloe peeking at the solar eclipse
The daytime and night
heavenly bodies dance past,
a peek-a-boo tryst.
Gage trying to see the eclipse…he’s only 2, so was not impressed
Stacking rocks was more enticing than solar and lunar escapades
The waiting is long
Look, play, work, gaze, pinhole view;
Light sliver eclipse.
The PacMan stage (coined by Hayden) of the solar eclipse
Taking a solar break – by hauling bricks
But how? Why? We gasp.
Fleeting, amazing, we stop.
Cooler, darker day.
Mabel was definitely more exciting to Gage than the sun and moon
Putting down bricks, mid-eclipse

Lovely. I like the way kids notice but then are on to the next amusement. 🙂

Yes. Never in one spot for too long. We’d look, comment, go do something, and come back and repeat. Plus – I had free help moving bricks! Can’t argue with that. 🙂

Oh, yes they were. Look, run, look, play…keeps me on my toes! I wouldn’t have it any other way. Plus – as I now call it, the eclipse patio is complete! (Until we decide to move it again.) LOL 🙂

Love this post, Angie. I can appreciate your outlook here. I too have grandchildren and they can make doing chores fun, and if you let yourself go you get to go back in time and enter their world even if it’s just for a little while. Well done. Looking forward to visiting as often as possible. ☺☺
