The tone of her voice

nwhikerDuring The Great American Eclipse, Linnea was... enthusiastic, to say the least. She was jumping up and down and hollering "That is SO amazing!" over and over. It was wonderful. It made one of the highlighs of my life even better, ya know? I love my whimsical little girl!
Last night, since dh had a late meeting, I took her out to see the comet. We were a bit earlier so it was a bit harder to find but we did.
She was OMG thrilled. The tone of wonder and awe in her voice made me smile as she said over and over "That so sick! OMG, look at the tail. It's so fuzzy! That's SO sick!" It was great.
There was a family up there too, and as I was leaving (with my lights off), I made an idle comment like "Isn't it great?" out the window and they said they hadn't been able to find it. It was a bit hard because of social distancing, but I walked them back to where my car had been, told the dude go up from the sign, past the two power lines, and it should be right below the third. Of course, he's about 6 inches taller than me, so it took a bit, but he found it. Later Linnea asked me if I thought he'd really seen it. I told her that the tone of voice when he said "Oh, I see it!" was unmistakable.
I'm looking for darker places to observe it. So far, because the place we go is within city limits, and there are bright lights nearby, we still need binoculars. I'm hoping to get out this weekend to some place where it can be seen naked eye.
EEEEK!
