Shakes, splashes and monkeys

Hmm, what do those three things have in common?  The things we are doing these days.  See for yourself.

So we took this boat to Monkey Island...a 15 minute boat ride right across the bay where we are staying.  It is indeed full of monkeys, eagerly awaiting our bananas.  We decided not to get off the boat (you could and possibly have monkeys climbing on you) but were close enough to successfully throw bananas and watch them scamper for them. The boys thought it was pretty awesome.  

Lucy was pretty excited too and kept saying "ee ee ooh ooh".

Austin discovered today he loves to be thrown in the pool.  "Throw me a mile Daddy!"

Back to the monkeys...if you can't tell, the two on the left were mommies holding their (dark looking) babies.  Super cute.

Bathing beauty.

Bennett's version of being "thrown" in...much tamer and more to his liking.

"Look Mommy I'm floating!"

In other news, I am about to be an aunt!  Emily is in labor as I write this and I am praying it will speed up for her.  Very suited to Emily's style, this little man decided to arrive right on time- on his due date.  Hopefully will have news on that soon.  So hard to be far away right now.  But if I have to be far away, I would pick Thailand as the place to do it. :)
