Partial Solar Eclipse
I had seen on the news that there would be a partial solar eclipse. I really wanted to see it, because I've never been able to watch one before...so I googled how to watch it (since looking at the sun damages ones eyes). Dr. Google gave me instructions for how to build a pin hole viewer out of a shoe box. Rea and I had fun building it and then got the joy of watching the moon pass partially in front of the sun. Wyatt was at school and Loyal was napping, so they missed out. But Wyatt was able to pull up a video of the eclipse online later. We are now anxiously awaiting 2017 when there is supposed to be a full eclipse viewable from Oregon.
Carving those pumpkins
We got our pumpkins home from the pumpkin patch and carved them up! I had heard that washing them in a clorox/water solution would make them last longer. NOT TRUE. Those pumpkins ended up molding beyond belief within a week. We will not be doing that again. haha.
Rea Rea to the pumpkin patch
As has become our yearly tradition...we went with Rea's class to Vossler Farms Pumpkin Patch in Visalia. The weekend after, we went as a family so that Wyatt could pick his pumpkin for the year. It was as much fun as usual and thankfully this year wasn't quite so hot. I'm sad that this is the last time we'll go on a class field trip to this lovely place for a while.
