Lightning Bugs!!

After a night of catching lightning bugs at our neighbors house, we went out and bought a deluxe bug home so we could catch our own. Madeline and Meredith had a great time catching fireflies the first night and getting them into their new home. Here's a video after the first night of collecting.

Unfortunately, the fireflies didn't survive (they were left in the hot sun yesterday) so we went out in search of more bugs last night. Jillian was able to join in the fun too, and is very good at spotting and catching lightning bugs. Meredith calls them all "little buddy." There were a few casualties during the capturing process, but they had at least 30 bugs in the home last night. We let them all go free before going to bed to ensure they'd all live another day.
