Leapin' Lizards!


The boys found this little gem in the yard. It was so tiny! It's one of the cool kind of lizards with the blue tail that wags. His tail hadn't turned blue yet, but he had developed the distinctive curl at the end.

*Notice Stephen and Garrett look like "Me and Mini-Me" even from the back.*
You could barely find the little guy on the pavers.


Then he JUMPED!!


This is how Lincoln felt about it jumping. We instantly busted up laughing...because we're awesome parents like that.


After recovering from the trauma of being attacked by 1 1/2" lizard it was time to hold it.

Linkers turn.


Gabriel's turn.


Garrett's turn.

Not wanting to miss out on any of the action Lynneah crawled right across the gravel like there was nothin' to it. You would've thought she was on some nice soft grass. Don't be fooled by the sweet bow on her head. This is one tough cookie!! She's got an opinion and some serious determination to get what she wants...should be pretty fun to raise.
;-)
When she got to us she just looked up and waited to get picked up....crazy.

Yikes! I can't even walk on rocks in my bare feet...hard to imagine what it would feel like to crawl on. Silly girl! And if a lizard jumped on me I'd probably freak out too! And I'm sure my loving family would laugh at it as well. No worries, sometimes those things are just funny. Glad he was able to turn around and check the lizard out on his own terms. The lizard sure looked little!

Another great laugh! Thanks so much! Well, thank your boys....

There were lizards like this all over in Indonesia, called "house lizards." They scared me at first, but then I started to think of them as my little friends. At least they kept out the bugs!
