So, we left church and hit the parking lot to find a whole troupe of baboons at play. The local baboon monitors were keeping them off the cars, but they were rooting in the field and forest, and playing in the trees.
The kids are wary of the baboons after seeing them grab food from people at a local fresh produce market that meets in the forest near our home. And the males get really big and can be aggressive.
So, we watched from a distance and laughed to see the young ones falling out of trees and getting chased by the adults. But then there is the joy of explaining nature too. "Mama, what are THOSE baboons doing?"
"Playing, Jessica, they're playing!" Am I a coward? :)
