Did the switch fully charge by the time y’all left? :lol:

Besides the eclipse, son’s fav part was me giving him a few bucks so he and daughter could walk to the Supervalu grocery store and buy a pop and skittles, while I conversed with the Marquette brothers.

My kids and God children favorite part of railfanning with me was eating at McDonald’s 🙂

They were pretty excited to be there. Of course it was an extra day off school so that probably helped.

Kids didn’t seem to want to be on phones at all during the eclipse. The car trip was another story. Does make the trip much quieter for Mrs. Jet and I.

kept the kiddos off screens while at deshler at least, and for the first half of the car ride down. Played the alphabet spotting game.

The Internet and smart phones have made it much harder to impress young kids with the world around them. Whenever my kids ask for the phone, I say enjoy Planet Earth, Suburban Edition or the Highway Edition is my favorite :)

my daughter said to me yesterday while in deshler "you drive here to watch trains and sleep next to the tracks when the wheels are screeching?". Also on the drive home when I was pointing out yet another train on the NS chicago line around butler, they were definitely not impressed. :)
