Fireflies

Last night, Adam, mom, dad and I went to get ice cream at the Banana Boat.  When we got home, mom wanted to have a fire, so dad got it all started up.  We somehow got to talking about fireflies when I had mentioned that I had never caught one!  Adam and I ran inside to get a Mason jar and out we went running and catching fireflies!! It was SO fun!! The first one I caught, well attempted to, I squished in the lid when I was closing the top!!  Oops!! The second one, I successfully got in the container, but when I lifted the lid to give him some air, I squashed that one between the lid too!! At this point I was starting to lose faith in my firefly catching abilities!! So Adam, being the professional that he is, took the jar and caught me a firefly (and was successful all the way around!)  After I had one living firefly, I was content!  We sat around the fire for a while then called it a night!! Firefly catching isnt as easy as its cracked up to be!!
