Summer Nights

As I was running tonight, I enjoyed the beautiful summer night- a perfect 80 degrees, birds chirping, and lightning bugs flashing. You know it is truly summer in SC when the lightning bugs start to glow. Catching lightning bugs brings back wonderful childhood memories. Brent and I used to spend what seemed like hours catching them, putting them in jars, and then having races to see whose would fly away first. 8:45 is the perfect time to catch them. I can't wait until Jackson is old enough to catch lightning bugs with me. He already notices them but would rather squish them right now.
