Tropical Party on a Rainy Day

April 7, 2018 by Diana

The chimpanzees had a pretty great day today. Foxie got a new doll this morning.

 

For lunch, they had a tropical party courtesy of their friends Oliver Mazner, Jeremy Mazner, and Karen Emmerman Mazner, who won a “Throw a Party for the Chimpanzees” auction item at last year’s HOOT! event.  The chimpanzees had no idea there was a party in store, and they were SUPER excited when the spied the prepared spread:

 

Jeremy renamed the ants-on-a-log “peanut butter shooters” based on Burrito’s technique of deftly removing the peanut butter and raisins while setting the celery aside for a second go-round.

 

Jamie, of course, found the plate that was hidden under the barrel.

 

She took off with the umbrella-adorned pineapple and a sweet pepper.

 

The coconut was a much-admired item by Foxie.

 

Can you just feel Annie’s enjoyment?

 

Here Annie contemplates some lettuce while holding on to some specially-made carrot cake from a recipe that we got from the Center for Great Apes.

 

Annie really scored at this party – she found both the pineapple top and the leftover head of lettuce.

 

To no one’s surprise, Jamie took down the pinata and got most of the spoils.

 

But Negra, ever hopeful, did a check to see if Jamie had left any peanuts behind:

 

After the party, Jamie got to walk with the Mazners and (easily) convinced Oliver to race her multiple times around. It was still drizzling, but Jamie did not mind at all.

    Ah, so they do cover themselves routinely with blankets in their bedding?

    Wow, what a fun party and the food looks delicious. I think you need to share that carrot cake receipt from Center for Great Apes, seriously. I could see making little celebratory mini cakes for shelter dogs, dogs love carrots too. Look at Annie with her special prizes, she looks so satisfied.

    Thank you Mazner’s! I think I enjoyed your tropical party almost as much as the chimps.

    What wonderful photos. You have had some great parties there before but I think this one tops them all. More and more I am convinced Jamie is the smartest one of the gang. She never ceases to amaze me with her intelligence. The photo of the food was great too.

    Loved the colorful pictures of such a great time. You must have heard lots of grunts of pleasure. Coconut! Pineapple!! Was there any reggae music, by chance? 😎
