Foxie nesting!! and Jamie’s new method for carrying trolls

April 13, 2009 by Diana

Foxie was genuinely nesting with a blanket this morning

and even lied down on it ever-so-briefly!

She was really happy about her new speedo troll doll with yellow hair from yesterday.  I tied a yellow scarf to the troll and gave it (him?) back to Foxie – this occurred right before the nesting.

Jamie seemed pretty intent on getting the troll and scarf, so I gave Jamie a substitute, which she decided to wear by tying the scarf around her torso, baby-sling style:

And the party continues

April 13, 2009 by Diana

Here are a few still shots from yesterday

I had to take one “before” shot of the cornbread peeps and the Passover Harrosset on Matzah (hope I got that right!). We really can’t thank the volunteers and supporters enough for making Easter, and everyday, such a treat for the Cle Elum Seven and the CSNW staff too!

One of the many, many things that I like about chimps is they like what they like – they aren’t as influenced by human hang-ups and ideas about what’s “snack” food and what’s “just a vegetable”. Thanks to a donation from a far, we bought some fresh produce Easter morning that the chimps don’t get frequently – cucumbers, green onions, sweet potatoes and coconuts. Jody and Missy were competing for who could grab as many green onions as they could.

And here is a man and his treasured coconut

The party seemed to be still going on this morning… Foxie was eating a coconut when we arrived (quite happily), and Missy and Annie did not even consider coming in for breakfast. After breakfast, Jamie donned an Easter bonnet (or perhaps more of a Spring gardening hat) briefly:
