Monkey Attack!!

On Thursday Brooklyn and I tagged along with my sister Ashley and her girls to the zoo which was tons of fun. We made our rounds of flamingos, elephants, camels and then to the monkeys. They have this cage where you can walk in with them and they are all around you in trees and ropes. Kaylee loves the monkeys so we go there very time, she even makes monkey sounds...too cute!

Well, I was holding Brooklyn and trying to get her to see them. There was a lot of them out and at close range. There was a rope above us that they can move along and 4 of them did. The first one stopped and looked at us and it looked like he was going to jump at us. Luckily it didn't and moved across. So, 3 more go by and they do the exact same thing! The Zoo keeper ran over and covered Brooklyn's hair bow and said flowers are a source of food for them!!! I don't have the zoo pictures but I wanted to show you what bow she was wearing.

Can you say the biggest and brightest flower?!
As soon as she said that I ripped off the bow and put it in my pocket. I can't believe my daughter almost got mauled by monkeys!!

Note to self: no flower bows in the monkey cage!!

lol, i love this story! Poor little unsuspecting Brooklyn... I'm just glad she didn't become a tasty snack for a monkey! It may look like monkey food, but i think her bow is adorable!

Trent told me about this! That would freak me out! What are these zoo keepers thinking? Shouldn't there be someone checking for something like that before she went in!? Crazy!
