I was standing with Henry as he raked through the sand to find treasure at the school gate and I heard a noise behind us. It was a monkey eating a packet of crackers! There is a dumpster just to the left of the gate and the monkey apparently found some treasure of his own! After a short while other children started to arrive and after about ten had gathered around, the monkey took one last cracker, tossed the rest of the packet to the ground, and climbed up high in a tree to safety. I honestly hadn't realized monkeys would come that close to the school (it's a fairly populated area there). That, and I heard someone say they saw a tree snake in the parking lot the day before. Can you say "immersion therapy?"
