The Road Less Traveled

Summer Firsts

Last night marked a "summer" first for us.  Every year since my son was around 5 and my daughter 3, we have gone outside on summer nights to catch fireflies. 

Last night, we were outside about 8:30.  We began to see fireflies around 9:00.  The fireflies were present then, but scarce.  No luck in catching one.

Today was another "summer" first.  The first day to swim in still chilly Lake Lanier.  The kids jumped right in.  My husband waded in and then took the plunge.  Me, I kept to my tradition of inching my way into the water.  No sudden plunges for me into the icy waters!
