Did you know the northern lights were out last nig Did you know the northern lights were out last night? 😆 Ha, we figured we had to add some photos to the gazillion that are already online. 

It truly was an epic show though. We were watching from the lake in Minnesota. I couldn’t pull myself away and stayed up watching until 4:30 a.m. It was fascinating to see the aurora borealis in all directions, most of the purples we saw were all over the sky right around sunset and throughout the night in the south. It was crazy to hear how active all the wildlife was, too. I heard birds, animals splashing in the water, coyotes howling, and geese honking like crazy. 

Hopefully we will all get another fantastic show tonight!
We spent a long weekend in Dallas for the eclipse, We spent a long weekend in Dallas for the eclipse, and we managed to fit a few other fun adventures in, as well. Besides stuffing ourselves with BBQ and other delicious eats:
