Over the weekend dad, Rowan and I went down to Idaho for a few days to see the full eclipse that was passing over the US on Monday. We went down on Friday and spent the weekend on the farm. Then early Monday morning we headed for Midvale from Nampa. It took us a couple of hours to get there, but we were there about seven or eight in the morning. We headed a few miles outside of Midvale to a friends farm.
We hung around and waited for the eclipse to start. Once the eclipse started it took it a little while before I started to know tis that it was getting darker out, but was it got darker I was able to see a planet. Once the sun was completely covered it looked like the sun was rising all around us, and it got quite a bit cooler out there too. Once totality was over it started to get brighter and it started to get warmer out there too. By the time the eclipse was over it was very hot out there.
On our way back to Nampa we stopped at a rest area and I saw a giant cricket, it had to be at least three or four inches long.
