#14 The Monkey Show

When I was young I used to read a set of books called Tom and Pippo. They were about a small boy and his sock monkey. I loved those books, but they're not in print anymore. Now I love sock monkeys. I told Eric about this set of books one time, and he didn't even know what a sock monkey was. When I Googled it and showed him pictures, he still didn't really get it. We found some socks that were perfect, and decided we were going to make one. That was like a year and a half ago I think.
I'm sure I mentioned this place before. The Monkey Show is a little place in Halifax where you can get a sock monkey kit, and make it there. It's like Build-a-Bear for sock monkeys. Eric and I tried to go there a couple times, but it never worked out. It was closed the one time we got there. Then at the tall ships festival we saw a booth for the shop, and took a look at the kits. Everyone wanted one, so we decided to make an evening of it.

Let me tell you, this evening was a show of monkeys. It was a ton of fun though! I only got this far on my monkey though, he still doesn't have arms, a face, or a tail. Maybe he'll get those in another year or so.
