Will took off work for the day and we all headed out to Curu which is about 1 1/2 hours away. It was 20.00 total to enter and it was well worth it. They gave us a map which Sophie referred to as her “treasure map” and didn’t put it down for the first 45 minutes. She kept saying “I know, i’ll check the map. The map says this way”. We followed her treasure map for 45 minutes pretending to search for crocodiles that say “tick tock”. It was so much fun and her little imagination is just incredible.

We saw some deer, a big mouse looking animal that we called “the big bad mouse” from Sophie’s book, The Gruffalo, (and of course he was eating Gruffalo pie), horses, cows, bobs, and monkeys. We packed sandwiches for lunch and had a little picnic on a beach with a rock cave that of course had magic treasure in it and possibly crocodiles (according to sophie). After lunch we were walking back to the car when all of a sudden i looked down and a monkey crossed on the ground right in front of me. We were so lucky to be walking back at the time and caught an entire tribe of little monkeys playing and swinging right in front of us on the ground and in the trees. Sophie found a little fruit on the ground that she decided was definitely “monkey food” and we put it on a log and the monkey came down and ate it. She of course was ecstatic. “He likes it, looook the monkey likes it”. Ugh it was amazing. Def. a perfect day! Feeling blessed.
