We set the alarm and got up at 2:00 a.m. It was very cloudy and misting and we could not see the moon. But we did notice that the sky was light, almost seemed like it was 7:00 a.m. instead of 2:00.

What a cool (no pun intended) idea. Surprised my kid didn't mention it!

Great bonding time!

It's what we do as moms...support our kids. We had clouds so no seeing the eclipse for this part of IL.

You're a good Mom, Maride with a good kid. :)

Very nice of you ... I'm sure your son appreciated it! :)

Your son will always have that memory. Well done.

years later he will ask if you remember that day. Way to go cool mom.

Ditto

You are a good mother. It was too cloudy here to see it.

Good mama -- my DH woke me up at 3:30 to watch it on tv since we were very cloudy -- interesting but I was so sleepy
