"Total Eclipse of the Sun"

This doesn't come around very often but we got to experience seeing the Eclipse. The full eclipse was in Idaho and I heard alot of people driving up there to see it. I heard the freeway was nearly a parking lot. 
 We didn't spend the $$$ on the special eclipse glasses, so we took turns looking through Jesse's welding mask and the selfie mode on our phones to see the eclipse. It was actually really cool. The sky didn't get all the way dark, but it definitely had a dimmer hue in the middle of the day.
 I loved that we got to enjoy it in the privacy of our own backyard.
 This is a picture of the eclipse while looking through the mask. I thought you'd be able to see the eclipse without glasses, but you needed the glasses or mask to see the moon going over the sun.
