Last Day on the Island

Friday was our last day on the island before heading to the mainland on Saturday. The kids seemed to be on the mend, but Bruce was still suffering so we had a mellow day. We were heading down for bedtime when Finn discovered a tiny gecko on the floor. There quite a few of these in the house — we’ve all had a good startle when opening a cupboard to grab the salt only to see one of these guys scurry away — but this was the smallest one we’d ever come across.

Tiny gecko in the house!

Of course, Bruce tried to catch it.

And he did! Then he gave it to Finn.

Finn then took it over to the screen porch to release it.

On another note, Sergio made these adorable monkeys out of coconuts for the boys. Aren’t they cute?!?
