Tonight we gathered together in honor of VENUS. Kat Wyatt's Dad sent us glasses to view the Transit of Venus over the sun.
"It's a last-time-in-a-lifetime spectacle, one that only happens when Venus, the second planet in the solar system, comes directly between Earth and the sun. Because of the complexities of orbital mechanics, there are two such alignments in a period of eight years -- the last was on June 8, 2004 -- followed by a break of more than a century. If it's cloudy where you are today, you'll have to hang on until the next transit on December 10, 2117." (ABC news)

Here is what Max thought of the event!
But after a day of practicing walking, who can blame him right? He was tired and Dad's head was the best pillow.
ALSO - Happy Birthday UNCLE DOUG!! Enjoy your birthday and I hope all 5 of your boys did ALL the yard work today!

My baby can fall asleep ANYWHERE!
