Monkey Island

We didn't do a ton of extra activities while at the beach (do you need to?!), but we did do one fun excursion to Monkey Island. We had heard all kinds of things about this excursion but overall enjoyed it, the beautiful weather, and the awesome boat ride.

That morning I took the boys to breakfast then a walk on the beach. This sweet little swing was too cute to pass up a photo opp. Caden didn't want to get his feet dirty, so he missed out on the pic.
We rented a boat to the island off in the distance.
Ready to go!
Such a beautiful day and nice breezy ride.
Monkey Island, here we come.
The kids loved riding in the front.
I snapped this photo quick as the monkeys charged our boat. Our boat driver had a bag of food for them (which I'm guessing they expect), so they jumped on our boat and basically had us surrounded. I wish I had a video of all the action, but we were told to put everything away because the monkeys will take it. I think all of us parents were freaking out a little more than the kids. The kids didn't seem dazed by it.
Beautiful monkey island. The monkeys left us alone for the most part but if you acted like you were going to throw something at them they would back up. Eek. So, Grady picked up his own weapons for protection. Ha.

Such pretty views.
Monkeys everywhere!
Monkeys of all sizes.
This little guy was quite comfy.
Since he was so comfy, we decided to get a family photo with him.
I tried getting a shot of the mama monkeys with babies hanging on their bellies, but they moved around a lot. Look closely, and you'll see the little babies.
Grady's weapons protection :)
Just chillin out.
Peipei was hot and found a comfy spot.
After seeing the monkeys, we took a big lap around the island before heading back 'home.'
We all loved the scenery and peace.
Just so beautiful.
Yes, please.
My favorite. I really wanted to swim in this water. It looked so clear and pretty.
Loving the sunny ride.
Yes, my legs got burned after sitting like this for 10 minutes!
Pondering life and God's beauty.
We got out of the boat that far out but were only shin deep when we got out.
Walking through the crab holes. A fun adventure.
