Monkey sanctuary

What an awesome experience we had today! We went out to Ramona to a monkey sanctuary called Mostly Monkeys. This woman has taken in many different animals, but mostly monkeys, and has given them a home and cared for them. She has monkeys and animals from homes that didn't have the licenses to care for them or were mistreated, and animals who had been a part of a laboratory or in the entertainment industry and were retired. 

We were the only ones on our tour so we got very personal treatment and got to come very close to the animals. Kyle and Emily were mostly impressed with the monkeys, of course, and even got to feed some of them and pet others. It was a truly amazing experience being so up close with the animals. Kyle and Emily were especially in awe. 

The raccoons - Betty and Barney. 

Spider monkeys. Kyle couldn't stay away! 

We got to feed these little capuchin monkeys some raisins.
