Last week Alexander and I went to the zoo.  We saw lots of animals, but Alex's favorite was the monkey exhibit.  There is an exhibit where you can walk through the exhibits and the squirrel monkeys play in the trees and ropes above your head. 

The squirrel monkeys are very cute and tiny; they weigh 1-3 lbs. and are 10-14 inches tall.  Alex watched them in facination, but all the while clinging to me for dear life.  We saw a little baby monkey playing with his mommy, and 3 monkeys who were wrestling with each other.
