Jar of Fireflies

I love, love, love this card.
When is the last time you went outside after dark
in the summer and caught fireflies (aka lightning bugs).
My grandsons loved coming here every summer and doing this.
My grandson, Shawn, was excited a couple weeks ago because
they were at our house after dark — he yelled grandma do you
have something I can put these in — he had two fireflies in his hands.
This card makes me think of those nights with the kids.
