One of the only things my kids wished they could do in Hawaii was to find a gecko. Little did we know that was probably the easiest wish to full fill. They were EVERYWHERE!
They were smaller than I thought they would be but just as cute as you could imagine.
The game for the week was to try to catch one. Only a few of us were brave enough to try, Paul's mom being the least of them. She really had no desire to be any where near them, probably similar to how I feel about spiders.
My niece though loved them and called them "puppies" till the last day and then learned how to say "gecko." So cute!
They were very curious...
...and brave enough to approach the "gecko whisperer" Cici.
She couldn't get enough of them and had them coming to her hand to eat.
While eating outside they would join us. On the table, under our feet. The reaction my sister in law gave when one touched her bare foot was priceless. Even funnier was the reaction she gave when her husband held a piece of lettuce up to her saying "LOOK A GECKO!" Still makes me laugh.
This is Buddy. Cici named all of them, even the baby one that she was able to hold. Buddy though was a strong favourite. How could you not love such an adorable face?
