We did not get to see it in person because we were in the midst of thunder and lightning and so much rain there was flooding around the city. We actually drove through the beginnings of what would later become and impassable intersection because so much water collected. It was getting pretty dark due to the eclipse and the storm so it was hard to see the water--I was lucky it wasn't deeper yet and we made it through.
We started our day with Miss S the Educator. W was really invested in what she was doing, probably because she brought a few things he hasn't seen before. One of her main goals is to get him to focus for longer stretches of time so he can benefit more from his other therapies and everyone has noticed he has been improving :)
W took a nap and then we ate lunch while watch the live NASA feed--we got to see the eclipse over the Pacific and then in Oregon while we prepped and ate lunch. I must admit I took a bunch of screen shots on my phone because it was pretty neat! I had very little hope our storms would clear up long enough for us to see anything in person but the NASA feed was a good substitute.
Then off we went to take the Busy Little B to speech therapy (where we drove through the beginnings of the flood). Everyone who wasn't with a client hung out in the waiting room for us while we watched the sky get darker and darker and darker. We were not in the path of totality but we were supposed to come pretty close so even though we could see anything through the clouds, we could watch the light black out and then come back. The kids though it was cool for a few seconds and then asked to watch cartoons in the waiting room ;)
From there we went straight to the dentist for four back to back appointments. That was a super fun time in the waiting room....... I got to see the last half of Boss Baby. I suppose at some point I'll watch the first half LOL
I fully admit to breaking my budgeting streak and picking up some dinner on the way home. I'm trying to be good and do most of the cooking at home to save money and because its healthier for us but I was tired and just done for the day. So burgers it was :P
