The Traditional Thanksgiving Monkey





If we were in Canada we probably would've spent yesterday taking a bit of a Thanksgiving Hike. You know, you probably did it yourself- take in the leaves, work up a bit of hunger for the turkey ahead.


Thanksgiving was slightly different for us this year. No turkey. Four hours of the oven on full blast would've heated our house up beyond human endurance, so dinner was at the Canal Restaurant. Steak and seafood. Yum. And the pre-dinner hike was a little off the beaten path too. Rob took the kids to a waterfall pool and along the way ran into a pod of howler monkeys. He got some great shots and I've included the best one of a mom and her baby. Needless to say the kids were blown away by the monkeys and their unearthly howling.


So if we had to be without red maple leaves and roasting turkey then I guess howler monkeys and Panamax ships weren't too bad.

Okay Rob, I am officially outing you. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO COMPLIMENT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY SKILLS ANONYMOUSLY. At the very least give yourself a fake name! Maybe Enrique, Eduardo, Roberto?? Anything. Man, you are sooo see-through.
Love,
Your wife.XO
