Hidden gem

Our Monday leisurely afternoon PLAN– in a park, playing bubbles. Pierce Reservoir seemed like the nearest choice.

The park was peacefully quiet. No crowd. No joggers. Only a few lovers/couples sitting around (having affairs according to daddy M).

Picnic mat, checked. Camera, checked. Bubbles, checked. Snacks, checked. 

As bb S and I sat down, trying to open a bottle of bubbles, a MONKEY came out of nowhere behind S (and our bag)!

“AH!!!” was all I said and froze, while the monkey got closer and slowly towards the bag.

SNAP SNAP! Wake up SK! Protect your child! 

My delayed maternal instinct kicked in and I scooped S into my arms.

The monkey ROBBED a ziplock bag with a container and spoon in it. Haha! Gotcha monkey, the container is empty! It’s our feeding container!

Where was daddy M?  He was on the phone, about twenty steps away, back facing us and missed the ‘15-second’ happening.

We packed our bags and left.

No wonder the park was EMPTY because it’s a monkey land! And we thought we had found a hidden gem…

Let’s do impromptu outing next time!
