they only come out in june.
they only come out for about 30 minutes each night...when the sun is just about set.
and they are so easy to catch.
i hadn't even seen one this year but i told annie at lunch time "i think tonight we'll catch lightening bugs"
because it just felt like it was time.
and sure enough there they were.
and annie heard cicadas and said to talby "what is that noise that is so loud?!"
it is definitely summer.
this activity was on the summer list.....check!
annie was so excited and yelling "i got one!" every other minute.
talby got as many as she could at once before coming back to the jar.
sean was so into it last year but this year he just kept swimming....
growing up i guess.
it was time for bed.
i think they caught every one in our yard.
and then it was time to let them go.
so we could catch them all again tomorrow night.
