They were grooming each other and sheltering their young baby in between them &#8211; so cute!<br> <br><br> From here we walked towards the point and lighthouse, along the way several more baboons came out to play! One massive one came through the bushes with what looked like a cookie in hand, then two more came down and we were expecting a massive brawl to start in the middle of the path heading up.

... will have a nice bruise in the making to rival the one she gave me on my right calf. oh and 005 pecked my left knee cap. that hurt like crazy! despite all of this insanity in the pen, it was a great day. working on the weekend has its perks since it's usually quiet and relaxed around the hospital. this meant that i could sneak into home pen to visit Rocky the Rockhopper but he was indifferent. he got in the pool as soon as i came near. that hurt ...

... Winston came with Andrew and me and we had so much fun in the waves. Tonight, we had a New Year's Eve/Birthday Party at our house. Winston and his parents came over, and Lucille and Paul, and Ashlyn and Sienna. We hung out and watched Prince Caspian. Then we had a great huge dinner and ate chocolate cake with ice cream and whipped cream for my mom's birthday!

... table cloth. And the cable car wasn't running so we had to hike back down along the "easy" way back down. It took another few hours and we were hiking for a total of 6 hours! My body hated me. That night a few of us went out to dinner but I went back early because I was so tired. Of course this was after I had help consume a "Fish Bowl" or 1 gallon of mixed alcohol. They serve it in a mixing bowl. My body really hated me. Also I had a Wineland tour at 8:30. I went on the ...
