and two tails.

while on this trip,
kj & myla spent serious time lizard hunting.

kj was given a baby lizard from his cousin,
and myla’s jealousy started raging!
so, uncle ryan gave the kids rides on a 4-wheeler to help with the search.
till myla found one…


she was so pleased to finally find a horny toad!

so, we traveled home with one horny toad & one dessert lizard in slurpee cups.

the next evening, husband surprised the kids with a spontaneous trip to the pet shop to get a cage,
