The Horney Toad

Parker went camping with Papa & Grammie Olson last weekend and brought home a horney toad lizard. I asked him what his name was and he said, "Spikey, but his nickname is Lizzy."
We put Spikey/Lizzy in a makeshift tupperware holder for 3 days, but then decided we better let him go or he was going to Lizard Heaven real soon. So after building a rock house for Spikey/Lizzy and saying our farewells, we let the lizard go in our backyard. We haven't seen him since and I can guarantee he has already escaped and is headed for a safer place to live, where kids won't try to hunt him down and trap him in tupperware any more.
He hid in the rock house for a while and once we walked away and left him alone...he was outta here!

Oh...a family picture, minus me and Ava with Spikey/Lizzy.

Parker said he is in a better place. Funny kid.
