The Great Lunar Eclipse
This morning was pretty cool!! Dad got Gideon & I up in the middle of the night to drive across the Mississippi river to see the lunar eclipse from the Wetlands area.
At first I was a little aggravated to be up so early, but after we got over to the wetlands and saw the eclipse I thought that it was definitely worth it. The eclipse was interesting because the light on the moon seemed to be moving up and down. It is actually kind of hard to explain exactly what I saw without being there in person to witness it. Dad is going to post some pictures of it for me and maybe that will help with my explanation.
After we finished watching the eclipse, we got back in the van and went home and went back to sleep for a few more hours. Mom and Elsie were still sound asleep and didn’t know that we had gone on our little adventure until we all got up this morning. Gideon really thought that it was cool, too. All day long he has been telling everyone about seeing the “moon up in space” and the “eclipsing moon”.
