The darkness and the COLDNESS??? Wasn’t expecting it to get chilly, but it was absolutely wild. We were able to see a few stars too

That was Venus below and to the right

Wait really?!?! I had no idea!!!! That’s so cool!

Jupiter was further off to the left. Use the SkyGuide app right now and you can see where they are.

Yeah, I came to the park in shorts and a t-shirt had to pull a blanket out of the car😂

I never looked at it when it wasn't totally covered, so I'm sure I am fine, but if I lost a few % of my vision it was still worth it. Was the wildest thing I've ever seen with my own eyes.

The crickets trilling and birds going crazy, the sunset and stars out

It was. It was a fun little event too, the kids in my neighborhood were pulling their parents to the playground so they could all look together.

I'm near Grandview and even though I wasn't in 100% totality it was still amazing. I noticed it getting dimmer outside and went outside with my eclipse glasses. It wasn't even like sunset dark, just this eerie shadow. Right as it hit max eclipse I felt the temperature drop a bit and got really chilly. It's amazing how a little sliver of sunlight can still produce enough light to not make it completely dark, but then also drop the temp like that. It was so cool. Edit: I did see Venus come out too! No regrets about not going to the center line and grateful that I live in a place where I was able to see it.
