Fireman Flies

Our new house is a little more

"woodsy" than the last one. It's a lot of fun for the boys to experience all the new creatures that live in our backyard! After dark, fireflies light up the yard like fireworks. Usually the boys are in bed before dark, but they've stayed up late a couple of times to see the fireflies. They're both fascinated by them - Bryson calls them "fireman flies" and Carter can actually catch them! Other fun creatures we've discovered in our yard include a turtle (pictured here with Carter) and a racoon (we didn't actually see the racoon, just its paw prints)!
