River crossing problem with predators

Problem 79 from http://mathproblems.info/group4.html

One one side of a river are three humans, one big monkey, two small monkeys, and one boat. Each of the humans and the big monkey are strong enough to row the boat. The boat can fit one or two bodies (regardless of size). If at any time at either side of the river the monkeys outnumber the humans the monkeys will eat the humans. How do you get everyone on the other side of the river alive?
