Chased by Rhesus Monkeys

We were over at Silver River state park earlier and saw the rhesus monkeys for the first time. We were out on the boardwalk watching them when two of the larger ones decided they didn't like us there. They came up on to the boardwalk started chasing us, and that was a big problem. Jen can't run! I told her to retreat as quickly as she could, while I was backing up, yelling, and flailing my arms at them. This gave Jen enough time to get out of harms way, at which time I made a hasty getaway. Aggressive little boogers!
