Summer in December

December 19, 2014 by J.B.

We set out a chow forage after cleaning the greenhouse this morning, but for some reason only Burrito went out when I opened the door. That was fine with him.

After breakfast, Missy and Annie sat in the doorway to Young’s Hill, trying to decide if it had warmed up enough yet to go out.

Jody was the first to go out. At first she seemed a little uncomfortable, but as soon as the sun came out she began to relax.

Jamie and Missy immediately set off around the hill.

Annie came out too, clutching her blankets.

Foxie hung out with her troll in her usual spot on the lower platform.

This is downright balmy weather for Central Washington in December and the chimps seemed eager to spend as much time as possible outside.

Everyone but Negra, of course. She took her time finishing her apple from breakfast and then made her way back to bed.

Later in the day, a light mist started to fall, but Missy and Jamie kept at it. We are at walk number six now, and there’s plenty of daylight left. Got to take advantage of this weather while we can.
