Bugs at Dusk


Since we moved to Tennessee Adam has got to experience a new type of bug, the lightening bug. They come out at dusk and their bottom half flashes on and off in attempt to mate with another lightning bug. Since we live in the city we haven't caught enough to put in a mason jar ;), but we have caught a few to make lightning bug rings on. You squeeze their bottoms and smear the flourescents on and it glows. Pretty cool, eh?

Fishing at Shelby Farms

Me and Adam went fishing today at Shelby Farms. It was a hot day, but we had a lot of fun. We didn't catch anything with the Power Bait, but a family left some worms and then we started
getting bites like nothing else. And Adam said we wouldn't catch anything with worms. ;)

Getting the poles ready

Watching the poles
Adam's catch! A Turtle?! Don't worry we put him back! Even though he tried to snap Adam's finger off.
I caught a bass! Yea!
And I caught a turtle too! The turtles kept stealing all our bait. Slightly annoying, but kind of cool too.
