Lightning Bugs = Summer
I just looked out my front door window as I was headed down to the basement to grab a load of laundry and what did I see...my first lightning bug! No not my 1st one ever (I grew up catching them and smearing them on my fingers as glowing jewelry. Poor bugs!) but the first one for this summer. I was not excited enough to wake up the kids but I almost cried out in excitement. I LOVE lightning bugs, fireflies, whatever your name preference is. Now summer is officially here I have seen a firefly! I guess I'll have to keep humidity if I'm going to keep fireflies. Oh well, me and my pregnant self will survive the swollen ankles and heat of summer if only I get to catch a few lightning bugs in the twilight with my kids!

we used to smear the lightning bugs on the sidewalk. we'd have a long glowing streak.
I didn't have lightning bugs growing up, so I remember the first time I saw them. We chased them all night long! Sounds like a lot of fun for you and your kids!
