I could not believe it. There was not a cloud in the sky. And so the littles and I got to lay out in the backyard for the Perseids Meteor Shower. The neighbors behind us did not turn on their back portch light this time.
And it was slow. We are always early for the best part of it. But the littles are kids and have to get to bed. So we laid there and pretty soon they saw one. Naturally I didn't see it as I was looking in a different direction. Then we all saw one and then they saw one. The little woman gave up at that point. It is hard to lay quiet in the grass when your little brother insists on bugging you.
The little man and I stayed a bit longer and he managed to see another one. His total was four. Hers was three and mine was 1.5. I'm pretty sure I caught a glimpse of one in my peripheral vision. They are cool. I'm glad the littles do like to do some of the stuff I like to do.
