Last weekend Daniel's Aunt Meredith and Uncle Jerry came to visit on the heels their tour of historic Route 66. Daniel and Joaquin took them up the tram (I declined to imprison other folks in a small area with a crabby Eliana and we got some beauty rest) and then on Sunday, they were lucky enough to be in Albuquerque for the eclipse! We took them up to our friends' new house in the mountains and watched the eclipse through our homemade pinhole camera and some old tinted camera lenses. It was very interesting and the pinhole camera (ingeniously designed out of some old diaper boxes by Daniel and Jerry) worked very well. Both Joaquin and toddler Luke (he used to be baby Luke to Joaquin, but as he's grown and gained a baby sister, we had to upgrade him) enjoyed the pinhole camera and Joaquin had a great time exploring their new nature-scaped yard. The adults had a good time too, especially since there were numerous adults to help keep the baby happy. Especially sweet Aunty M who is a experienced grandma. It was a short but lovely visit.
