The Lizard


We were outside tonight and Eddie noticed two lizards on the outside wall of the garage. He wanted to catch them. He was not able to reach them, so he enlisted the help of Dustin. (these pictures are out of order, but I tried twice and could not get them in the order I wanted, so I quit and I am just going to tell the story).

This is the picture of Dustin and Eddie trying to put the caught lizard into Eddies jar.
This is Eddie, Dustin and Roxanne trying to find the lizard. Roxanne really wanted it (I think she wanted to eat it) and the poor lizard was probably hiding and shaking!







Dustin now has the lizard trapped between the wall and the bucket and wondering what do I do with it now???? (Eddie was trying to find something to put this lizard in. I told Eddie the lizard was NOT coming in the house or garage, so it would have to live outside in what ever he put it in).






Dustin trying to trap the lizard in the bucket while Eddie steers it in the right direction with a long handled light bulb changer!!









Dustin trying to find the lizard who is hiding behind the light. Eddie has told Dustin to just "flick" it from behind the light and he will catch it in the bucket! (Notice how far away Eddie is standing from the light where the lizard is hiding!)

After they had the lizard trapped in the bucket (top picture), they attempted to move it to a mason jar Eddie found. However, the lizard was smarter then these two and didn't get into the jar, but jumped/escaped onto the ground and ran like you know what!!!
