Eclipse

Yesterday we went to see the eclipse.  It was really cool!!  We looked at it through telescopes that the astronomers had set up.  We saw the partial eclipse in the telescope and then went to the park.  We ran around with bare feet and waited for the full eclipse.  We were lucky because we are in the path of the U.S. that got to see the Ring of Fire.  We saw online that you can see the eclipse by looking at the shadow of a tree and it is true!  We saw hundreds of crescents on the ground and on the tree trunks.  When the full eclipse was happening I was saying to Kate "Isn't this sooo coool!!  Look at the tree trunk!"  and she said "Yes!  This is a message from the angels!  They are saying Peace, Peace."  Good to know!

We met a family who spoke Spanish and we were talking with the boy and he was translating for his parents.  It was cool and it made me realize I need to brush up on my speaking skills.  I couldn't remember many words but I have been practicing.  Kate was funny because she said the only word she knows in Spanish is CHOCOLATE!  Haha.  a fun time. She is running super fast now and can run for quite a distance.  She is almost as fast as me!  I played soccer with the boy (Christian) and I am sore today.  I was wondering why my body hurt today and then I realized I am not used to kicking the soccer ball around!! We stayed at the park pretty late and got to bed around 10!  But it was fun.
