Lightning Bugs...or do you say Fireflies?

We all spent a lot of time sitting outside yesterday evening not-so-patiently waiting for the storm to hit. At one point it was starting to get dark, Leo had given up and gone inside, and suddenly we saw a lightning bug. There were great shouts of excitement as we saw another and another. Owen leapt up and said, "I've got to go tell Leo!" He raced to the front door, opened it and bellowed up, "LEOOO...the lightning bugs are here!" He shut the door, came back to us and happily reported that Leo had yelled down, "OH COOL!" 

And for a moment there, I thought maybe we're doing o.k. with these guys, because any 13 and 15 year olds that can herald the arrival of the lightning bugs are good, good people.
