Do you remember catching "lightning bugs" as a child? Some people call them fireflies. I remember spending what seems like hours catching them with my sister Julie. We would get our parents to poke holes in the tops of metal lids so they could hopefully breathe. We filled the glass jars with grass and sticks. We would each have a jar and catch as many as we could. We did not care about the numerous mosquito bites we would get or the fact that the grass would cause us to itch. We ran barefoot through the yard hoping to catch the most. Last night, Carson had his first lightning bug hunt. We ran through the yard reliving our childhood fascination with flying bugs that light up the night sky. Carson perfected it to an art. He caught every single bug on his own with his net. He was even able to see them in the dark when we could not. Hmmm...maybe he really is Superman!
