The Skink

Our sweet Kennedy is such the reptile charmer! Justin caught this skink, type of lizard, out in Apple Valley the other day, and brought it home for the girls.



It has 2 tails. Kennedy wanted to hold it all day... I think it's cute, but don't make me touch it. MacKenzie feels the same way.




Here's Kennedy with her friend from nursery, Mela. Aren't they so cute! We had her and her family over for dinner and swimming and it was SO entertaining. All the kids (8 together) had a blast splashing in the pool, playing with toys and watching movies! Thanks Torres' for a fun night!

Thanks for posting it's name - I've never even heard of a skink. She must be her father's daughter if she wants to pick up that thing. My boys were having a breakdown that there was a fly in the van the other day ("Pull over Mom! You need to kill it! It almost flew in my eye! AAHHHH!")

That is CRAZY GROSS! Man you're strong to be able not to freak out. My Brother Aaron used to bring home snakes he found in the field by our house. The only thing cute about that is your beautiful daughter in the pic. she could make anything look more appealing.
