I remember catching lightning bugs -- fun! I was foolish enough to catch bees, too.

I think I've mentioned before that there was a creek behind our house and all the neighborhood kids used to just "live" down there during the summer months -- bike paths, trails, getting in the water. We'd stay down there until all the mothers started calling everybody to come home (and sometimes we'd pretend not to hear them). This was back when I'd even go down there alone -- nothing seemed very dangerous then, though I suppose anything could have happened -- but it never did. Wouldn't have let mine do it.
