Lightning bugs and lawnmowers

We stayed up late last night and enjoyed the backyard. Avery ran for about 2 hours straight. We started with a soccer game, then it was tag, after a while we got out the bubble lawn mower, and then the darkness set in. Avery heard her first crickets of the summer. Because I crank her sound machine up while she sleeps she hadn't heard them before. She spotted a few stars, the moon, and finally a lightning bug. Now catching them was a lot harder than Trevor and I remember. There were only two in our backyard and although we caught them both it was really hard and took about an hour. Avery loved watching them glow. Although it was a late bedtime for all of us, it was a great night!
