Blood Moon

April 15, 2014

Last night we had a crystal clear view of the Blood Moon (a total lunar eclipse) and Mars right next to it. I set my alarm so I could wake up throughout the night and see the eclipse. I watched it during the phases while the moon was being "eaten up" in the earth's shadow. When the eclipse was total, I woke up Kira and Calvin and Jeff to see it (around 1:45pm). Kira and I sat on the window seat in the kids study and watched the moon for several minutes. Mikey also woke up during the total eclipse so I took him to the living room to see it. It was really cool! I have been tired all day but it was totally worth it!
