Some of their antics were a little crude, however, & about that time Dad & Mom would quietly lead us away. It wasn't until I was older that I realized why. The video of the fancy organ was fun. That music always reminds me of the merry-go-rounds we rode as kids (& even as adults I'm not ashamed to say!)La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-85679916677210641692014-09-08T04:53:13.735+10:002014-09-08T04:53:13.735+10:00Monkeys are always fun to watch at the zoo.

I haven't been to a zoo in ages, but as a child I always liked the monkeys. Spider monkeys are cute. Some monkeys are creepy though.
