May 30, 2006 - Leapin' Lizards!

While on a Disney cruise in 2006, we stopped for the day in Mahural, Mexico, near Costa Maya, and spent the day on the beach with friends we'd met on the ship. That afternoon, Erin saw a man walking around with an enormous lizard-looking thing - the kind of thing that Erin would typically go WAY out of her way to avoid. This time, though, she walked right up to the man and asked if she could pet the thing. Before we knew it, she was holding it, hugging it to her like it was a baby. (Wait, is that really my kid???) I snapped a picture as quickly as I could, because I knew nobody would ever believe that it had happened.
