Erika is certainly willing to teach her new sisters the ins and outs of mall living. First of all, why ride the mechanical horse when you can study it's inner-workings thanks to a transparent box?
Here we are with the Hanleys enjoying mall-time goodness.
And for something completely different, since we are having such nice weather, Erika and I (Jason) are spending a lot of time in the yard. After watering the herbs and checking for aphids we found some Northern Alligator Lizards! The one on the bottom has only a stump for a tail since it must have released, or autotomized, it when escaping a preditor. Ask Erika about it and she will speak on this topic enthusiastically. We'll look for a batch of baby lizards around the fall.

Yes, I'm commenting on my own blog posting, but if you click to enlarge the lizard photo, you can see that the male actually has the female in his jaws! Just like the text books say! i guess the male of this species does nothing to impress or attract a female. If he can chase her down, that's good enough. Consider it documented.
Oh, and one more thing. I asked Erika if the lizards have names. Indeed they do. Their names are Poontar and Tina.
With creativity like this, one would assume that Erika would be a great help with naming the twins. Unfortunately, she has been both consistent and insistent that the babies be named as follows: "Poopies" and "Poopy 2".
Such is the advantage of the older sibling.
