Bean said it best today - "this is more amazing than I thought it would be!". The monkey forest has monkeys roaming around, walking right up to you, around you and crossing your path. There were even a lot of baby monkeys climbing on their moms and dads and the girls loved seeing them. One of the monkey guides even pointed out a one week old monkey baby to us. It is a pleasant walk in a forest area and you can watch the hundreds of monkeys in action...eating, picking bugs off of each other, sleeping. You have an entire set of rules you need to abide by - no yelling, chasing the monkeys or running. No eating, drinking or even chewing gum. No opening your bags or getting anything out of your purse (they may think it is food) and I was only slightly worried that one would attack us and eat our faces off (active imagination again). I am really glad we went. Since Bean was chosen to bring home the class bear this week -Bertie the bear, or better known by my husband and I as the class 'germ share bear' - she was able to take Bertie with her and get some pictures of the monkeys and Bertie together. I took about 80 pictures, but I tried to pick out a few good ones that would really show how close we got to the monkeys. After a quick lunch at the Banana Cafe (located right outside of Monkey Forest), the kids were able to play on a playground and trampoline. We had a great time!
