On the Hunt for fireflys

The kids have been at VBS all week at our church and today Bruiser came home with a jar for catching lighting bugs. Well sure enough, as soon as it was dark enough, all the kids went running out searching for the flickering little creatures. They had so much fun running, chasing and catching them. They caught a total of 8 before Mike and I called them inside. They were so bummed to have to let them go. Bruiser had to say goodbye to each and every one of them first.

Finally we get them to bed and Mike is locking up the house and sees a lunar moth. Well being a good homeschool dad, Mike had to get them all out of bed again to see the moth. They were so excited about the month but upset too that it would only live one night. Mike and I decided to catch it and put it on a display board for the kids to look at better and study. I can't wait to scrapbook the whole thing :).
