Monkey Attack!!

Yesterday was playgroup again and Maddie was excited to go.  We had quite a surprise as we came into the park from the bus stop.  Maddie had decorated an empty square juice box (1 liter size) to be a castle and was insistent that she bring it to the park.  I allowed it as long as she was in charge of it.  As we came up the road to the beginning of the car park (parking lot) there were lots of monkeys.  One saw us and almost immediately started to charge us. It got way too close before I figured out what was going on and ripped the castle/juice box from her hands and threw it at the monkey.  He was satisfied and instantly ripped it to shreds but she was traumatized.  Needless to say we were leery of monkeys when it was snack time at the playground and could see a baby monkey in the tree nearby.  We’ve already emptied another juice container so now we have a craft project planned for this afternoon while Jakey has his naptime.

Ahhh.  Welcome to my new life.  Some things could just never happen in Virginia.
