Last night I let Hannah stay up late so we could go check out the Perseid meteor showers. We waited until about 12:30 am, turned out all the lights, and stepped out into the driveway. We're far enough away from any city lights so that we had a gorgeous view of the night sky and the Milky Way. It was just beautiful.
I think we only stayed out about 10 minutes, but we saw a bunch of meteors flashing across the sky. The best part was when Hannah turned to me and said when she was a mom she would take her kid out to do this same thing, and that she felt so lucky because it wasn't just any mom who'd let her 10-year-old stay awake for an "astronomical event."
She's so smart and so awesome. I feel like the world's luckiest mom.
