"First off mothers protect babies.....i think you know where im going with this. So i did not get a video of me getting attacked but sharon and Kali did. I was trying to feed this little baby that was up in a tree and the mom jumped on my leg and bit me so hard! Its bruised and cut. She did not cut through my pants but my leg would suggest otherwise. It was hilarious. The video is not very good cuz she was not really ready. You see me in the corner getting bit. After she bit me i screamed (like a girl) and fell to the ground. Ha ha. The girls are of course not letting the scream go. It is on video and it is rather high pitched. If a monkey lunged at you i guarantee you would scream too. Monkey island was incredible. It was a one hour bus ride and then we boarded a ski lift with cable cars that brought us high above the pretty water. We then got dropped off on the island. Monkeys were everywhere. We were with a guide for the first hour and saw two shows. I dont think i have ever laughed so hard in all my life and i mean that. I will just go ahead and tell the story. So they are having monkeys do all these tricks like tight rope, biking, walking on hands etc. It is all monkeys and then they had a mini horse come out (rob and big came to mind) and monkeys rode on the horse. It was cool and very entertaining. Now the funny part. From the side of the stage comes this goat and he was huge. At first i thought he was going to just stand there and the monkeys were going to balance on his horns. No that was not the case. This huge goat climbs the ladder and gets on the tight rope!!! My jaw just dropped and i didnt know whether to clap or laugh. I looked at the girls and i just lost it. This goat was amazing and filled with talent...a true showman."
