I have been very excited to share these pictures and videos from when I went to Texas for the total eclipse in April.

My sister lives in Texas, not too far from Dallas and invited the family to come and see the eclipse with her.
The picture below is me with 4 of my brothers and 2 sisters. My sister in law made eclipse reunion shirts, which we are wearing here.

Of course for a total eclipse we broke out Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart. Scott gives us quite a show.
Here is the group at 1:42pm

What a cool experience. The part that was most surprising to me is as soon as the sun broke through it was really light again. It took a while to get dark but hardly any time to get light.
We were worried about a potential storm coming through, luckily it happened the day after (a post on the storm coming) and the clouds moved so we could see the eclipse too.

In additional to watching the eclipse and dancing to Bonnie Tyler we also made a time capsule, with things important to us, to be opened at the next total solar eclipse in America in 2044.
Pictured below. Jay and me decorating the time capsule. Jay asked us for our three favorite songs and put them on an Ipod. Scotty is loving pickleball right now, Kristen put in Frankincense and Myrrh and Jodi an extra reunion shirt. I put in a book that I made of the family when we lived in Bishop.

Great times and sweet memories. I am so glad that we got together and watched the awesome natural phenomenon.
All of the family

We appreciate your work and your publication has been hand selected by the geography curation team on behalf of the Amazing Nature Community. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
What a cordial invitation from your sister to see this beautiful phenomenon. I loved seeing all the brothers gathered with their exclusive t-shirt for the occasion. Great idea from your sister-in-law to personalize her outfit
I loved the idea of making a time capsule, it would be great to see in 2044 the important things that have been saved.
These moments you spend with your loved ones are unforgettable.
Thank you very much dear friend @sjarvie5 for sharing this beautiful celebration
have a splendid day
Thanks for your thoughtful comment @jlufer
Your friends are so funny
Just like that, whenever an invitation comes from such a beautiful place, all of us must visit because there is a lot to learn and our mind also gets a lot of peace by seeing the natural scenery. I have my own night to hang out with friends over such beautiful places.
