camp monkey business

after a week in nyc, seeking out rogue potty spots for bijou (thx auntie kara!), we were happy to watch the city fade behind us and rush off to the countryside:


off to west virginia to join my favorite monkeys for their 15th annual weekend of camping, and, well... monkey business. see, it even says so on the sign:

bijou and i found a lovely spot to park just by the river, and set up our wknd home there.
just a tad more peaceful than new york city:

by day, the camp was deserted -
everyone out seeking adventure:


one of my favorite monkeys, elliot,
opted for some biking with dad:


while others enjoyed the swimming hole:


we went for a drive to check out the local sights
(windmills, nuclear power plant, fields, the usual...)
and to pick up supplies (read: beer).



at nite, the monkeys danced their asses off.
wow, look at em go:


this one danced so hard i think i saw him burst into flames!

SIGH...
another cherished round of monkey business for the memory banks.
oh, how i love my monkeys...
