Celebrating Freedom

July 4, 2013 by Elizabeth

The Cle Elum Seven are celebrating freedom today! Not long ago, they spent their holidays in lab cages. Today they foraged on Young’s Hill, lounged in the warm greenhouse, and played with friends.

We kicked off the day with a party in the greenhouse this morning. Volunteer caregivers Denice and Patti brought food and decorations. Fruit smoothie was set out in tiny plastic shot glasses, and we put out paper trays of apples, grapes, berries, and melon.

Later we served a special holiday lunch of vegan hot dogs, dill pickles, and bell peppers stuffed with pasta salad. We do our best to keep the chimpanzees healthy by limiting their diet almost entirely to fresh produce, but we thought we’d splurge a little today.

Everyone gathered as Patti got ready to serve:

Today was sponsored by Jody Maxey in honor of the Cle Elum Seven and their independence!  It’s a joy and an honor to celebrate this with the chimpanzees.  What a wonderful thing to do, Jody, thank you so much! The celebration is just getting underway so be sure to tune in later today for pictures of the festivities!
