today's schedule:

6:30 wake up

7:30 breakfast, bacon, eggs, cereal, coffee, fresh fruit

9:00 boat ride to monkey island

 H has been looking forward to monkey island ever since we booked our vacation.

We took a relaxing 10 minute boat ride to the island.

Once at the island Mom stayed on board the boat while H and I fed bananas to the monkeys.

See the monkey in the background slowly making his approach to the boat?

Mom thought she was safe on the boat.  She was hopeful at-least.  

H wanted to bring one home with us.

And one of the monkeys wanted to come home with us.

Mom didn't so much like this.  I think M did though.  

We all enjoyed mom's reaction.  

The boat captain sprang into action and shooed the monkey away.  

I should have sprung into action, taken the role of the knight and fought off the little critter.

But, like I said, we all enjoyed mom's reaction.  

Wishful thinking.

Surprise Tricia!

{let me zoom this in for you...}

As long as we were giving them bananas they were happy.

When we ran out of bananas is when they became 

the mischievous little monkeys that all monkeys are.

H enjoyed every bit of it.  Even when the monkey grabbed his arm 

and attempted to climb on him.

{Tricia said she would have been okay with the monkey on the boat if she knew it had its shot}
