We had such a fun outing watching the Perseids Meteor Showers. We traveled out to a country school where a number of people from an Astronomy Club were gathering. We put blankets on the ground and our family plus my brother lay under the stars until late that night. We saw quite a few "shooting stars" and the kids were so amazed! One very bright one looked as if it was burning up as it made its way across the entire night sky. Rose fell asleep as she hummed under the stars. The boys laughed and talked as they searched for meteors. It was definitely a memory to cherish always. (picture from public domain on National Geographic News website)
