Monkey Business

Look out for these 3 kids with sticks.  They mean business!   After being overcome by monkeys while having lunch at an open air restaurant in Sodere, the waitstaff was kind enough to equip our Joshua, Micah & Caia with sticks in case the monkeys tried to eat off our plates.  And, that they did.  The monkeys came right up to the table and tried to steal food.  Crazy.

But, with a couple of mean looking monkey busters like these 3, the monkeys didn't stand a chance.  They took their job quite seriously and were good protectors of all of us and of our meals. 

And, you should have seen the glow on the kids faces.  How many restaurants have you been in that have encouraged the kids to be armed with big sticks to ward of the wild animals?   I mean, usually we are encouraging our kids to try to sit quietly and keep their hands the themselves in a public setting.  But, they were performing a public service, so I guess it was okay.
