Best Christmas Ever

December 25, 2011 by Elizabeth

It’s been a very merry Christmas here at CSNW.  The chimpanzees started the day with a special Christmas breakfast of peanut butter rice balls, bananas, and smoothie.  After the playroom was cleaned, the real party began – complete with whole pomegranates and tangerines, new toys and blankets from friends Robbi and Dick Brown, Leslie Sodaro, and Joanne Pierce, and a Christmas tree decorated with popcorn and peanut strings and troll dolls.

Aside from the pomegranates, the tree might have been the star of the day.  Diana had the idea to suspend it a couple of feet off the ground, so it spun festively whenever someone touched it.  Burrito, in particular, seemed quite taken with it, as you’ll see below.

For Julie and Rob Sweet from Vern and Jean Bengston

December 25, 2011 by Elizabeth

Vern and Jean Bengston have sponsored today in honor of Julie and Rob Sweet. The chimpanzees are currently enjoying breakfast and excitedly waiting for us to finish cleaning the playroom so today’s party can begin! We’re so grateful to everyone who donates so we can continue to provide the chimps with everything they deserve.

Here’s Negra enjoying last year’s festivities:
