Monkey Island (Huo Dao) - Sanya, Hainan, China

OK, The name says it all - we took a cable car over the ocean and went to an island full of monkeys!

There were rules which mainly consisted of not feeding the monkeys any snacks brought along - which we did or consuming anything for yourself - which we did.

We did however pay for all of the kids to feed the monkeys some sort of air crisp thingys - pretty cool, the monkeys came in droves to grab some from their hands. It freaked Avery out a little. One monkey tried to steal a can of club soda from our friends backpack - I posted the video clip on youtube - you can see it here: MONKEY THIEF.
Two monkeys tried to attack Colten - I'm not sure if it was becasue he was their size but both grabbed onto the sleeve of his shirt before being shooed away - - it scared him in the moment but never slowed him down to try to interact with them.

There were lots of little babies which were just adorable!

And yes we let some sit on our heads - - to this day, Andrew can't stop talking about the soft monkey paws on his face and I can't stop thinking about monkey balls being on our heads...
