We had a relaxing start to our day -- something that felt needed after 3 programs in about 24 hours. We spent the morning relaxing at Naumburg Mennonite Church enjoying the outdoor weather and some games and activities. Around 11:30, we headed to Brookside Senior Living Community for a program at 1:00 and then a Solar Eclipse Party with them. After that was over, we came back to Naumburg for more recreation, a 6:00 pm supper and then off to our hosts for another night of sleep. We'll let pictures tell the story.

Totality!
Not everyone was sure about the eclipse -- two elderly ladies were making their way indoors when it got dark and were concerned it was about to rain. After persuasion and explaining that the light would return, they were finally convinced to take their seats again and were amazed when sunlight returned.
