~Fireflies~

You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep... 

(Owl City)

The specks of light are either fireflies or dust...I haven't cleaned the camera lens in a bit.

Jumping to catch them...

Last night we were treated to the most wonderful nature show on earth. In our backyard we have a small grouping of trees next to a beautiful lake and Saturday night they were FILLED with fireflies (lest you thought the owl city song was completely random). It was like an outdoor theatre or a festival of lights. There were about two hundred plus fireflies blinking throughout the trees (not quite ten million but I'll take it!) We laid a blanket out and enjoyed the show. The kids chased fireflies and Jon and i enjoyed the moment. I do have to side note that the kids 'capturing' of these little insects cause quite a few to sadly loos their lives by the hands of an over eager five year old, but massacre aside, it was a grand night. Here's some photos of the magical experience! (note: Caleb had given in to sleep a few minutes before the show started so he is absent from the pictures) 

Patiently waiting...

I'm not so sure this firefly they caught made it out alive...

Once they realized i had a camera
 it was all downhill...

Getting a lil crazy

What an adventure!
