Monkey World!

Today we ventured to Monkey World in Wareham with Margie. Driving is always an adventure and even with the navigation system and Margie's help, I took several wrong exits on the roundabouts. Oops. We got there eventually. :)

Both kids fell asleep in the car on the way there and the way back and are way off their nap schedule but oh well. I'll be honest, I don't love going to the zoo. But this was different, there were several unique play areas throughout (lots of climbing and obstacles so kids could be like monkeys) and it wasn't as massive and exhausting as some zoos. And well, who doesn't like monkeys? I think they are Hailey's favorite animal (We read a lot of Curious George and she has them on several pairs of PJ's and she loves making monkey sounds. Up there with dogs anyways.)

Some of the monkeys looked really sad and lethargic (which Ethan noticed as well and it was a little sad) and others were happy, full of life and downright funny. Some of the habitats they set up for them were really awesome (and quite massive)!

Studying the orangutangs.

Watching them climb and swing (there was a cute baby one too but I wasn't fast enough to get it's picture).

King Louie!

(And I thought Chris had long arms--haha) :)

Just hangin' out.

Ethan may have riled this monkey up a bit with his little cement mixer truck on the widow.

Sorry, your cute "couples time" is on display. No privacy anywhere around here!

This thing looked like a rat mixed with a monkey mixed with an owl mixed with a raccoon.
