4th of July Forage (finally)

July 5, 2011 by Jackie

If you “like” us on Facebook, you probably know, yesterday we had some technical difficulties with our website, so I was unable to get the video of yesterday’s lunch forage out to you– until now! The chimps had such an exciting day with lots of yummy treats. The weather was perfect and the food matched the holiday to the T. For lunch, they had corn on the cob (a favorite among everyone), whole raw onions (another favorite, believe it or not), cherries, and (of course) watermelon! The outdoor area was decorated in red, white, and blue, and the afternoon was spent lounging, grooming, and sleeping. Then, that evening, we gave the chimps Field Roast vegan dogs from volunteer Jeani (which resulted in squeaks, squeaks, and more squeaks) and more corn on the cob! Debbie set up a rose and tea forage in the playroom while I served dinner. When we left, they were back to lounging and seemed very content with the day.

    If I even think about eating a raw onion my eyes water. Have they ever had Vidalia Sweet onions? I bet Annie would love those too!

    Oh, how fun! What a great holiday for the chimps!! Thanks to you all for giving them such a great day. Yeah, I think my eyes started watering just watching that onion fest……..and I love the comment overheard in the background about “no fireworks comparing”….well said! 🙂
