Supermoon eclipse

 "And God made the two great lights - the greater light to rule the day and the lesser to rule the night - and the stars. And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light to the earth." Genesis 1:16,17. ESV

The supermoon lunar eclipse, which happens only once every 30 years or so happened to take place again the last weekend in September and we were pretty excited to watch.  Of course we had to learn about it first to truly appreciate what was happening, and we were pretty awe-struck.

It was very special that we could start watching while it was still light outside and finish watching just in time for bed.  And even neater was that friends and family all over could watch the same moon at the same time being covered by earths shadow.  A shout out goes to my sis Natasha for these gorgeous pictures of the moon she took at her home in Owen Sound.  It looked the same here only I had no camera to take pictures with! So thanks a ton!
The kids were thrilled to cozy up on the trampoline with blankets and sweaters and moon gaze till past their bedtime, although I must admit that once we threw Abby in bed things became alot more peaceful and less crazy.  She can not sit still for even a moment.
