Apenheul! (Monkey Zoo!)

We have been waiting for nice weather to take Kees to see the monkeys at Apenheul. When I was a kid I had a video about Holland and the Apenheul Zoo was on the video. Steve took me to Apenheul for my birthday our first year in Holland. We also had a great time taking our nephews Darren and Justin. It is pretty amazing but most of the monkeys run free in the park! This morning on the way to the zoo Kees said, "monkeys today" about 100 times! He was excited!

Here is one of the free roaming ones! They will get into your pockets, bags, and take anything they can get their little hands on. They make you put your belongings into a monkey proof bag before entering the zoo.
Kees wasn't sure about this monkey trying to grab his shirt!
Hmmm...Kees wondering if he should try to touch it.
We had a great day! On the way home Kees cuddled with his stuffed animal monkey he got from the gift shop.
