Bucket List

So I don't know about you but we have some pretty lofty dreams for this summer. You know - a bucket list sort of thing. Since our kiddos are so little long vacations seem well impossible although we may tag along on a business trip to Detroit if we can talk T (D's business partner) into letting their family tag along as well. Our kiddos are all about the same age which means they are all bestest friends however, 6 kiddos in a hotel for a week could be interesting. So we will see. 

Nonetheless, Shadd and I made a list of some things that we absolutely must do this summer. Some of them are kinda cheesy but others are well a must for every summer. Does your family make a list like this?  A few we are gonna tackle are glow in the dark bowling, camping (maybe just in the backyard hence the nursing baby), swimming, drive-in-movie, adventureland, boating, nature walks, etc. The list has at least 50 things on it. Some small and some big. 

We checked one off last night...Catch Fireflies. 

Now, how do I do this??

Where are all the fireflies?

With the book

Shadd read a book a few nights ago all about fireflies. He's kinda my fact lover.  As soon as he and papa caught 2 last night, he kept telling Papa that we needed to put the jar in hot and cold water to watch the light brighten and fade. Of course, my dad hadn't read the book so he was confused. Shadd got the book and explained that when you put fireflies into a jar of cold water their light fades but in the warm water their lights get brighter. It was a little hard to tell since we only had two. Plus you kinda have to stay up late to catch those fireflies. 

He and Sis both had a blast though. In fact, we still have the jar of bugs in the living room. I don't think Shaddy wants to let them go. Maybe tonite. 

We also did a fire and smore roast - another one checked off the list!
