Partial Eclipse August 21st 2017!

Post from the past! Rachel decided to get a Solar Eclipse Viewing Party going!
The food was appropriately named.....


Of course, we needed funny decorations....
Can't have an eclipse party without Spock.....
Eating yummy food and getting ready to go view!
Me too!
The shadows were really cool, almost like there were two suns.

Its kind of hard to see. 

 
 My body had a shadow, and it was like my aura had a shadow too!
 It was an AWESOME experience. I can't wait until we have a FULL eclipse.

RIP Dad, We're Sure Going to Miss You!


We can't believe you are gone! Thanksgiving, you knew us, but by Christmas, you didn't. I'm sorry that cancer had begun to consume your body. We know that is the reason that your memory began to fail. We didn't relish the hard road you had ahead of you, but we would have been right by your side every step of the way. In the end, you chose to leave this life on your terms, quietly and without a lot of fuss. I know you weren't alone when you passed. I hope you are having a joyous reunion right now with your parents and your brothers. Make everything ready for when its our time. Until we meet again, farewell, dad!
