bucket list check offs.

The older my kids get- the more fun summer becomes!  
And we totally lucked out to have some extra family members the last few days to make it even more fun.

we knocked a few items off our summer bucket list: firefly catching and swedish fish italian ice :)

Rita's Italian Ice is one of those places that you crave.  You can get this dessert where they layer custard with their Italian ice and it's UNREAL.  Their custard is to die for and their ice is out of this world.  Like the most amazing snowcone you've ever had- only better.  and when you mix the two- Holy Smokes.
they have flavors like strawberry starburst (the pink starburst flavor that's everybody's favorite!), sour patch kids, and swedish fish!  I LOVE the mango, too.

you can tell who got the swedish fish flavor.

the fireflies are in full force right around nine PM so we've spent a few late nights out in the back yard doing our catching!
It's pretty great that fireflies are so easy to catch :)  


this bright circle is a firefly lighting up right in front of my camera!   Every night when they reappear I get excited.

The weather this summer has been spectacular so far.   It has made it so much more enjoyable!!
