Valentine’s Day video

February 14, 2009 by Diana

That is Foxie (yes, Foxie!) going through the enrichment bags full of goodies in the first part of the video. The day went like this: Fresh fruit & smoothie for breakfast (and the crepes that Negra went crazy for!), big cleaning and disinfecting of the playroom, then setting up the party which consisted of new toys, decorations. treats, and, of course… love!  Then an early dinner after a mid-day romp outside.

Dinner was very exciting. Keith visited and passed out the first course – green onions. (Keith has moved to the other side of the mountains and was visiting for the first time since leaving a couple of weeks ago, so the chimpanzees were very happy to see him). In anticipation of the Valentine’s Day dinner, we bought some great produce that we don’t always have and Pam brought some over from Seattle too. Elizabeth, our new staff member, cooked up beets and added them to brown rice. And we set out a forage of snap peas, rhubarb, coconuts, fruit salad with blueberries, pineapple and banana, and of course the peanut-butter dipped strawberries rolled in nuts that Pam made.

Thank you to all who donated for the day and made it possible!!! I have never experienced such a Valentine’s celebration before. I have more photos which I hope to post tomorrow.

What a wonderful day.

    I do believe this is one very laid-back group today. Is it new for Foxie to go through gift bags? She was instantly in love with her new doll, just the right size.

    The chimps were pretty laid back today. I did have some video of a little more action – Burrito food squeaking whilst eating banana bread, but it didn’t turn out very well. It is unusual for Foxie to go though things!

    That was wonderful! I am so glad Keith was there for the celebration. Laid back is a good word. It reminded me of the way we all feel after Thanksgiving dinner! Too cute Foxie, you are having so much fun growing and exploring. Thanks for the great video.

    I love how Foxie pulled out the stuffed animal, which it seems she did not really like, and then she spotted the baby doll inside the bag, got it and left everyhting else, she only wanted the baby doll! And then walking by Burrito and getting his approval to move on, they all seem to be walking slowly, are they still aching from the fight, Foxie even seems to be slow….maybe it was just a slow day! Thank you for throwing the love party, everything looks amazing!
