Total Lunar Eclipse

I got the boys up to see the Total Lunar Eclipse on Dec. 21, 2010. Matthew was super excited and Tyler didn't want to be left out. The bummer is that I fell asleep on the couch and got them up after the eclipse had already happened, the moon was already dark and it stayed that way for about 45 minutes, which was about all the boys could handle. Tyler was wanting to go back to bed. Just as we were getting back in the house I could see a sliver of light starting to reappear on the edge of the moon. Oh well, we made a great memory.

Above is what it really looked like and below is what I was able to capture with my camera. It really was orange/brown in color. Kind of eerie.

Tyler - "just get me back in bed, Mom!"
