After we had a screened-in porch added to the back of our house, my mom said, "Oh no! This means you can't look at Larry the Lizard while Avery eats his lunch!". Larry the Lizard is the generic name for the conglomeration of anoles and skinks that would crawl on our sliding glass door, much to the kids' delight and the dogs' annoyance. HOWEVER, after the porch was added on, we have had several up-close and personal encounters with these frisky reptiles, as they invade our porch by slipping through some unidentified crevice, James Bond-style. Here are some pics and video from our first visitor. Phil made a display case out of a diaper box so the kids could view the lizard without getting nipped at, thus contracting some crazy reptilian disease that makes one sprout a long tail, or something equally ridiculous like that. Avery was such a sweet kid and was very empathetic to the fact that the lizard was: a) alone; b) scared; c) missing his Mommy; and, d) wanting to go home. Man, I love that kid.
Here is another video of a different lizard. No boxes were involved this time. And now we know where they are sneaking in.
