Monkey Mountain & Camping

Okay, we told MJ after she fills up her whole potty chart we would take her monkey mountain in France. Monkey mountain is where you are in a gated area & you get to feed monkeys w/ a small handful of popcorn that they give you. Here's their website:

We've been wanting to go for a long while. It worked out that my friend Jenn & her family were wanting to go back too. We were finally able to find a weekend we all could go. They left on Friday, Ben had a show that night. They headed up there & set up camp near by. We met up w/ them on Saturday morning.











Daddy's little monkey:


We knew that everyone was getting very hungry so we went to go eat & let the girls play on the playground for a bit. After we were done we wanted to go again & see the monkeys:


She was a lot braver the 2nd time around:





I couldn't believe this monkey came & sat right by them:
I was amaze to see them sleeping in the funny ways:
The girls were getting tried so the guys were carrying them:
Ben's turn: We made our final stop at the cute gift shop where MJ picked out this cute little money: It was great experience. We decided to head to the campground after we were done to hang out & see what we can to there. It was about 40 minutes away. Here's the link to the camp ground we stayed at:

Jenn & Ryan could have not picked a better spot for us to set up camp! It was great! They even had our tent up & everything set up.

MJ looking ever so happy in our tent. I don't know where she that look from:

Me & Jenn went to the store near by to get a few things while the guys took the girls to play putt putt & play at the park next to it. MJ attemping to do putt putt:

Enjoying her 1st s'more:

The guys took the girls to go find bunnies while me & Jenn stayed & visited. When they came back not only they found bunnies but they found the lake & needed to be change. We put the girls to bed around 9:00 after we changed them & got them in tucked in. We all then sat & chated by the fire till we decided to head to bed ourselves. MJ did good during the night till around 5:30 & jumped in my sleeping bag. I discovered that she wiggled out of hers. I returned her back to it. I woke up around 7:50 to MJ messing w/ the flashlight & nice good morning mommy greeting from her. We soon ate breakfest & packed up & sadly left.

The camp had bunnies all over the place! They were so cute! Everytime I would get my carma they would run off. On the way out Ben spotted some & I was able to take a picture of them. I know it's not the best shot but hey it works: On the way home we past Bitche, France. Yes, we are that immature & had to take a picture of the sign: We all had a wonderful time! MJ feel asleep on the way home. We are so going to miss doing things like this when we leave here!
