Solar Eclipse Totality
“There is no sun without shadow, and it is essential to know the night.” -Albert Camus
One of my favorite parts of watching the total eclipse with my family in our backyard, was how much my kid enjoyed it too. I was expecting them to be in and out of the house through the whole thing, but was pretty much outside the whole time enjoying it! Experiencing the temperature drop, shadows, and reflections. It was so cool, and super fun to hear the neighbors enjoying the whole experience as well!
Eclipse Totality
The main purpose people seek out total solar eclipses. Totality and the black hole sun looking corona burst that goes with it. A starburst display from Earth's own personal star.
It is the reason the eclipse that happened April 8, 2024 was put on my calendar in 2017 when the partial eclipse I tried to see with my family was clouded out.
We put our glasses on and went outside anyway, for the fun, but as soon as we came back inside I looked up the next eclipse and put it on my calendar. The best part was we were living in the path of totality for this one!
We had my sister and her family join us for back yard eclipse fun, and it turned out amazing!

Luckily, the 2024 total eclipse worked out beautifully. The weather was clear and enjoyable. The location was perfect and stress free- My Backyard. The planning was well researched so we got the best experience of the entire event.
