Living It Up

December 14, 2017 by Elizabeth

Some might say that it’s undignified for those in their golden years to be so silly, but the Cle Elum Seven chimpanzees don’t think so. (And neither do we.)

    Love all the fun and sillyness! So glad they have the freedom to play their games-I loved every goofy moment!

    Play is ageless, so is laughter. Didn’t you say the chimps are aging in reverse? This video is proof that they sure are!! Missy and Annie are so cute together, Besties for sure. Jamie and Foxie are hysterical rolling over each other. LOVE this.

    Thank you for giving them a home where they can express their silly playful side, their laughter, love and JOY!

        I dig the casual way at 2:20 that Foxie (I think) just pounds away on Burrito’s head like she dribbling a basketball. I can just hear Burrito haw-haw-haw-hawing his chimpanzee laugh.
