Lightening Bugs

Living in different states over the years has allowed our family to experience so many different things. However, every once in a while, you realize something that the kids are missing out on. For what ever reason, we don't have lightening bugs where we live. I've never really thought about it, just something we don't see. When we were home this summer, I believe it was Cutter that noticed the first one close to the ditch bank at my parents house. The kids were amazed. We quickly got ourselves a jar and headed out to catch of some fireflies. It ended up being a not so productive event with only two caught, but the kids sure had a good time. *Disclaimer: we released all bugs at the end of the evening and none were harmed.
