January Challenge #224 "Captured Moments"

This month's theme is "Life's Moments" over at Lasting Memories.  This week's challenge is all about "Captured Moments".  What is a captured moment?  To me, it's when I come across a photo of a moment that I completely forgot about.  For instance, the photo I used for this week's layout was taken at the Philadelphia Zoo during a visit to my hometown. 



 My son, my sister, and her boyfriend were all looking at this little monkey climb a rope to get to his buddies.


We all stood there and watched the monkey go about his daily routine. 



 We didn't say much to each other, we just got lost in the moment. In fact, the monkey wasn't doing anything amazing.  He was simple.  He would climb up one rope, look around,  jump to another rope and look around.  But for some reason, he captivated us.   I forgot all about this moment until I came across this particular photo of our trip.  It's more than just a photo, it a "Captured Moment".
