Fishin' in the Dark

Okay, so not exactly fishing for fish, but they were definitely doing their best to catch those fireflies! Saturday evening was such a gorgeous night and the kids got a taste for chasing after fireflies. Now, generally the boys go to bed early, but Saturday was an exception when a good friend of ours came over with his daughter Reese. The boys love to play with Reese and Saturday was no different. Trevor wasn't too sure at first about catching a "bug" but once Ian caught one and gave it to him, he was definitely on board with the idea. He carried that poor little firefly around for probably 5 minutes and had to show it to everyone. "It's a cute baby" is what he kept telling his Dad. We even broke out the butterfly nets to aid in the process. Every time Trevor would catch one in his net he would make me take it out....couldn't have more than one at a time in the net ya know? Ian wanted his picture taken with each and every firefly that he was able to nab! lol They were very entertaining and I got a kick out of watching them going at it. Too bad the mosquitos chased us off, but tis' the season for the biters!



Trevor had to stop and give Yodi cat some loving!

Where'd it go???
Slow and easy does it!
Shucks!! I missed it!
Did I get one in there???
