It was so dark that all our solar lights came on and we heard some confused bird calls. Also everyone in the neighborhood whooping and howling. It was incredible. 6yo was so excited albeit aggressively anxious about her glasses being held firmly in place. During the totality she joined in the howling and cheering and ooh-ing and aww-ing. She wants to keep the glasses for the next eclipse. 😂 that’s a ways away.
