Good for you. You never know what is going to trigger the curiosity, desire and drive that produces the next brilliant scientist. (And if your kids are led into other professions, they will never ever forget the experience you gave them.)Of course it's special.
I never meant to imply otherwise.
But not Halley's comet special.
AND certainly not "word of God" special.

First they were bored
then totality came (we were in the path for 3.15 minutes.
and they got AWED
I videoed the event.
