What a catch!





Seth saw a guy in our ward catch a lizard with some long grass when we went hiking a few months ago. He saw a lizard on our back wall the next week and was determined to catch one. We got out the dental floss and made a slip knot. But we never saw a lizard at the right time and so the dental floss was left on the counter for a few weeks. Then on the last day of school we were going to get in the car and a lizard was hanging out by the garage door. I was afraid I would run over it when it ran under my car, so the kids watched as I backed out to make sure he didn't dart in front of the wheels. The lizard wasn't very afraid of us, so I ran in and got the "leash". Seth was so proud and wanted to keep it. I told him he had a family and they would miss him :) The second picture is of a smaller lizard also hanging out by our garage, he was easier to catch, so Seth just picked him up! Seth the lizard catcher!

Wow, great job Seth. When I was a boy, where we lived, there were lizards everywhere and some were easy to catch and some weren't. The prize catch was a lizard called a "Horney Toad"... they were kind of flat like a disk and had horns on their head. Is your cast ready to come off? Or maybe it's already off?

Love,
Grandpa

Wow! Soon Seth will have his own show... "Seth the Lizard Guy!"
Maybe they were looking to cool off in your garage.

I've never known a Lizard Catcher before, and now we have one in the family! Dental floss? Way to go Seth.

Good practice for when you get you dog that you're going to name "Sethy" :)
