Meteor Shower


What to do when you get up at midnight to a boy with a wet bed? Hmmmm. Watch the Perseid shower - after Ollie takes a shower.
:)
We got Isaac up too, and then went to the backyard to look up at the night sky. It was very neat. Jason and Isaac saw a few, mom saw a few. and Oliver saw the trucks on the highway in front of our house.

Yeah. Oliver likes trucks. Helen slept through the whole thing. Thank goodness.

That's impressive. I usually stumble through that type of task with bleary eyes. Is JHD reading Quixote in the original Spanish?

I'm jealous. I went out last night to look, but it was very hazy/humid/lightning-stormy/buggy/unbearably-hot-even-at-1AM. I gave it the old college try despite the many obstacles, but I only saw one. Oh well, the Geminids in December ought to be better in Florida. Whose idea was it to put the best meteor shower of the year smack in the middle of hurricane season, anyway?

What amazes me most is that your family was awake after dark! ;)
