Hey – my apologies for not posting yesterday. We’re frantically getting ready for the big day tomorrow when the chimpanzees go outside for the first time!
If you’re in Seattle, I would recommend picking up the Seattle Times today – stories are always better in print. I updated our media page with links to the two online versions of the articles that appeared in the Times today by Erik Lacitis with photos by Alan Berner – they’re both great!
We’ll give you some more info to go on about the children of the Cle Elum Seven soon. Tomorrow – photos of the chimpanzees in their outdoor area!
WAAAHHHHOOOOO!!! Cannot WAIT!
hooray everybody!
more choices, new sensations & chimplications(great word Lewis)! YOWZA!
sure hope it’ll be nice and sunny and warm with a great breeze!
many cheers to all at CSNW for busting your butts to make this happen for the Chimps .. can’t wait either to hear about & see all the excitement ..
GO Cle Elum Seven!!
YIPPEE YIH YAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited about tomorrow. I have told everyone at work, so we can be at the computer to watch!!!!!!!!!
Hugs and Kisses to the Seven Souls of Cle Elum
Also when you give info on the children, can we have info on the parents also?
Thanks,
Shelly
Wonderful! We are so excited about tomorrow. The humans at CSNW are the best!
AHHH!!! Fresh air! We will be thinking about all the chimps on their big day tomorrow!
Best wishes to all on the big day tomorrow! It is SO EXCITING!!!! I’m sure the chimps can feel that something big is going on! 🙂 Can’t wait for the videos, photos, and more news stories!!! You are all AMAZING for all of the hard work you’ve done!!!
I wonder if anyone will get any sleep tonight?!? It is all so wonderful to have everything complete. I’m looking forward to the pictures, videos, and descriptions so we can also feel the joy and excitement of the air on the chimps faces and the delight in their eyes. Congratulations on all your hard work. You are the best!!(humans, that is. We can’t slight the Cle Elam 7:) XOXOXOXO to everyone.
I am definitely not sleeping 🙂 I was so tired earlier today, and now I can’t wind-down. I keep wondering who will go out first, whether anyone will be scared, if Negra will nest on top of the platform, and if Burrito will display. J.B. and Keith hung a tire swing today – I wonder if Missy will use it. Will Foxie stomp around like she did when they first went into the indoor play room? Will Annie only go out if Missy does? Will Jody be able to lift herself onto the ledge? So much to wonder about!
6:21 am and counting……..
