We imposed on family for an extra week to experience a total eclipse. Brenna wasn't quite ready for us to come to Amarillo to help move her to a new apartment, so we figured why not stick around for the eclipse? Total eclipses don't happen that often and we happened to be in the band that would experience it.
So we got family together at my uncle's house for some prime viewing (and crowd avoidance since Evansville/Newburgh experienced an influx of people). We packed some drinks and sandwiches. Yes, we had snacks.
It was pretty spectacular. Day turned to dusk, if only for a few minutes. Melissa managed to take some pretty good pictures with her phone.
And, of course, we have to share a few favorite gimmicks we saw.
Overall good day. We're glad we hung around for it.
