Monos, monos, mas monos

"I learned the way a monkey learns - by watching its parents." – Prince Charles

While Crossfitting with the monos was pretty amazing, a couple, who I have become friends with, told me that the monos are in full effect at their house every morning at sunrise and every evening before sunset.

I went to their house a few nights ago to experience it for myself, and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. The monos were literally a few feet away from me, and there were mama monos with little tiny babies on their backs. I am posting the pics, I hope you can see them clearly. There must have been at least 25 monos running around, these are only a few of the pictures I took. I also have a video and will try to figure out how to post that at some point too.

For those of you who were smart enough to "sign up" to come visit me... I promise to take you by so you too can have this experience.


It is hard to see, but the monkey on the top is a mama with a little tiny baby on her back. The little white you see there is actually the baby's face. Those little ones just cling to their mamas and it is amazing to watch the mamas jump through the trees with the babies just hanging on.



This guy was hanging on a vine type thing very close to where I was standing. He was swinging back and forth, would hang down like this and pull himself right back up. With his flexibility and muscle tone, he reminded me of Coach Boz from Crossfit.


Here he was after he sat back up, just swinging back and forth enjoying himself. It was amazing.
