Creative Eclipse Party

Good day my friends!

Today I'm showing you something a little different.

Where I live in Western NY State was right in the path 

of the recent solar eclipse.
My sister in law decided they would have an eclipse

party and she went all out with the theme.

The garage door was decorated with a backdrop for pictures

and information about the eclipse.

She made little signs for the food.

This was for little sandwiches on croissants.

We all contributed to lunch with a variety of salads.

Sun Chips were an appropriate snack.

And Sunflowers decorated the table.

For a sweet treat there were Milky Way bars.

Dessert was lemon meringue pie

Coconut cream dessert

and homemade Moon Pies.

ALL the food was Sunsational!

Here's our little Marie with her special 

eclipse glasses on.  Jaryd attached them to

a paper plate to be sure she wasn't looking aournd

the glasses rather than through them.

It was very cloudy here in WNY,

but we did have some breaks in the clouds 

and we did get to see the eclipse and get some

pictures.

These are a couple that I took during the

total eclipse.  It was an amazing thing to

experience. The darkness came on pretty quick

and left fairly quickly.  During the total eclipse,

it was pitch dark out.

Then the moon was moving on and the sun

was peeking out again.

Here's a picture of me, Dave, our friend Zoe

and Marie.

We had a fabulous time, it was something we'll always remember

and probably won't experience again.

Where were you during the eclipse?
Did you see it at all where you live?

Thanks for stopping by today.

Come again soon,

until then,

do something memorable.
