Getting ready for the Perseid Meteor shower…

Tonight, or should I say tomorrow morning, is going to be a big day for Sam and I.  Sam asked at dinner tonight if he could get up and see the Perseid meteror shower tomorrow morning with me.  I said sure, but with the caveat that I would check the weather to make sure there were no clouds.  If I saw no clouds then I would wake him up too.

We then proceeded to spend 20-30 minutes planning all the things we would need to bring with.  The list, in his order of importance, is:

• Goldfish crackers
• A juice box
• His lawn chair
• Bug spray
• My camera
• Then me

Obviously he believes he’ll be able to go see them, with or with out me, all the while enjoying a really nice snack.  Let’s hope the weather cooperates and that I’ll have some nice shots to share tomorrow.
