Garcia's Geckos and more..

I havent posted in almost a week. Trying to get a good daily routine going that will keep me busy other than sitting at the computer and being depressed about Ricardo being gone. There is plenty of things I can be doing and enjoying these last few days of the quietness before the kids are out of school. I am actually looking forward to them being home and having a laid back summer. I know the boys are in summer mode already with their countdown going of when they will be able to sleep in. All three of them are looking forward to their camps, along with trips to Six Flags, the pool and more.. Marc's looking forward to his first job which he will start once school gets out. He will be a server at a little italian restuarant/pizza joint here in Cibolo.



I decided to make a post about each child. Today's post is about Marc. I think my title for this blog is a good name for Marc's impending business of breeding geckos.. Marc has come to really love these animals.. So much so that he may eventually run out of space in his room with his ever growing collection. He had something cool and exciting happen this week. He has two eggs that he has been waiting and waiting to hatch. Two nights ago one of them hatched and Marc was able to watch the whole thing. He was pretty excited about that and even made a video of it. Once he uploads it to youtube I will post that link. Several people I have talked to have thought I was crazy for allowing such a great amount of these animals in our home. Ricardo and I are just amazed at how knowledgable he is on these animals as he spends alot of time researching them. You wouldnt believe how much money some of these geckos go for. It's crazy! One of the top gecko breeders in the U.S. lives in a town nearby, about 45minutes. Marc has had the opportunity to have two private tours, thanks to his dad. I know he really thought that was awesome! We have been extremely proud of Marc, that he spends all this free time doing something that could eventually lead to bigger and better things for him in the future. We love you Marc!



Here are some pictures of Marc. The first two are of some of his collection. The next is of the gecko hatching. I added a picture of him with another love of his- baseball. The next two are with Ron Tremper and Marc's tour. The last is a picture with one of his geckos.
