snow, snow, and more snow

It’s a good thing the Cle Elum Seven like to eat snow so much, because we’ve got a lot of it!

We’ve been putting snow in the kiddie pool and other large tubs and containers on a pretty regular basis, and it keeps the chimps happy for hours. Today, I walked into the chimp area and found that Missy had grabbed a large handful and taken it upstairs to enjoy by the window.

She may have been sitting in the sunshine, but with eating all that snow she was obviously still cold. She was shivering quite a bit and used this washcloth to dry her hands off.

Jody was laying next to her in her nest. You can’t tell but she had a mouthful herself.

Later, Missy went to enjoy some snow with her best friend Annie

and while she was gone, Negra had taken over Missy’s pile of snow

it wasn’t long before Missy joined her
