Sock Monkey Monday: Vacation!

Okay, so it's not REALLY Monday. Let's just pretend that it is, since I've proven my grasp of what day it is is pretty lame.

The weather has been gorgeous here in Monkeyville, perfect weather for hanging around outside. Eli Monkey is on summer break from university, and he insisted that Sirus monkey put down his drawings and paintbrushes, and spend sometime relaxing outdoors. Sirus was a bit reluctant, since he's not nearly as durable as Eli is, but he followed along.

Monkeyville is situated in a prime spot for summer relaxing. In fact, it was just a short ten minute or so walk for the monkeys to find the ideal spot for some outdoor water-side fun. The beach was very crowded, but the monkeys found a nice, secluded spot where they wouldn't have to worry about being stepped on.

Right here looks good!

It was a fair distance from the water's edge, so that Sirus didn't have to worry about getting wet. He doesn't do well with water.

There was a very nice view of the pond as well.

Since his finals were over, and he passed them all with flying colors, Eli had no problem relaxing.


A true artist at heart, Sirus didn't relax, so much as he sat and observed the scenery around him. He looks quite content though, so I think it did him good to get out of the house.

 

It really is pretty scenery too.

Unfortunately, this is about all the monkeys can afford for a vacation right now. At least until July, then they'll be traveling with me out to visit some friends in Wisconsin. Where I go, my monkeys go too.
