What will you two remember from this day? Will it be the fact that you viewed it from the TV set safely? Or you told dad you didn't want to go outside because everyone kept telling you about going blind? Will you get sleep tonight because you mentioned your eyes hurt after we took a walk during the eclipse?
Instead of driving to a crowded destination to take the chance with clear skies, we stayed in and made it to the ice arena one last time before school starts. Thanks to Julia's little fall on her knee, I was more likely to treat you to a treat that involved sugar and some time with Pa. I'm pretty sure you will remember your milkshakes more than the eclipse, but maybe I'm wrong.
In case you forget. This is what you may have seen if we had some glasses.
Because we stayed put this is what I heard out of your mouths today.
"How come I haven't flown in an airplane?" -Julia
"Mom, you're a genius!" - Jacob
"Buster's penis feels like Jello!" -Jacob
