Bouncy Bridge!

August 9, 2012 by Debbie

The other day, volunteers from the Boy Scout Troop 336 from Federal Way finished up a fun bouncy bridge (I can speak from experience because Jackie and I just had to, for safety reasons of course, test it out. There is no video of that, however). The video we have is a combination of footage we took from the chimp house and also the chimps’ view from the GoPro camera. Thanks so much to the Boy Scouts for putting this together! I can’t wait to see wild games of chase on the bouncy bridge.

    AWESOME!!!! Thank you Boy Scout Troop 336!
    P.S. I don’t believe for a minute that you didn’t get footage of you and Jackie going across (hehe).

      Honestly, no we didn’t, unless J.B. was getting some paparazzi type shots from the chimp house that he can use later to embarrass us πŸ˜‰ but as far as I know, there is no evidence of our “safety tests” of the bouncy bridge πŸ™‚

    All I want to know is who fell off first? Jackie or Debbie? πŸ™‚ C’mon ladies, give up the video! “I can’t wait to see wild games of chase on the bouncy bridge.”…..would that be wild games of chase amongst the caregivers or the chimps? Hmmmm????

    All kidding aside, the bridge looks like a load of fun, and we can all be very thankful for the kind generosity of Troop 336. Great job guys!

      No, no, we were very careful with our safety tests. No falling. Though we certainly were not as graceful as the chimps are with our climbing! Because of that I’m not sure I’d be able to play wild games of chase on the bridge, but I do hope to see Annie and Missy run along it soon! πŸ™‚

    What a fun new adventure for the 7. I bet the wind mixes it up as well. Good for you, Jackie and Debbie, let us use our imagination not live footage! Kudos to the Boy Scout Troop 336. I bet they tried it out πŸ™‚
