Hi, it's Jane. Every summer, my family makes a list of the things we want to do while the weather is warm.

It includes things like how many different lakes we want to jump into, what animals we hope to see, and new crafts we want to try out.

This summer, But Wye has made a summer bucket list and an invitation to you to join the But-Wyf fan club so you can get it.

New members of the fan club will get a special But-Wy summer adventure kit with a notebook, a magnifying glass, a drawstring bag,

and a list of fun summer activities and adventures to have together.

With a $10 a month donation, you're supporting all we do at But Why to explore

and encourage curiosity and learning, and you're getting the summer adventure kit. Check it out

and make your gift at ButYKids.org slash donate. This is but why?

Maybe that's something you've had a chance to do at school or with your family or community group.

Well, adults like field trips, too.

And any chance Melody and I have to go somewhere new and actually see some of what we're talking about in our episodes, we jump at the opportunity.

and parked up right next to the banks of a very big river

to learn about some animals that are mysterious, slippery, and wiggly.

You know what, let's get some more in here.

Let's get a big one. Let's get a big one here.

Those were eels.

Well, technically, those were humans who were doing the screaming.
