Well today was full of anticipation! By 9 am J.B. and our amazing volunteers were out building this SPECTACULAR climbing structure and yes that word does have to be in all caps because it is that stunning. The structure has a little bit of everything for every chimp and these chimps could not wait to get out on Young’s Hill and check it out! However, the chimps could not go out on the Hill until it was done. They waited so patiently and found ways to stay busy! Jamie monitored the volunteers cleaning and the volunteers helping with the structure, Neggie napped in the nice and toasty Greenhouse, Burrito played chase, and Missy, Jody, Annie, & Foxie played some wild games! Jody was half pilo all day just from all the excitement, she was so excited she was even playing like crazy with Missy today. For not being able to go on the Hill most of the day these chimps were in great moods!

The chimps loved the final product:
Looks like it’s going to be SPECTACULAR to the MAX!!! Wonderful work and well done!! Can’t wait to see them enjoying it! BRAVO to you all (and hugs and love too)….
WOWZA! The new structure looks so cool! Your volunteers are THE best, no doubt their hard work and loving care will pay back ten fold. And the video was a gas, thanks Kelsi. Looks as if Missy was full of fun loving beans today. It all looked like such fun. What a wonderful way to celebrate Earth Day 2018!
That really is an awesome looking new structure. Very impressive. I love how the chimps play like kids. They must be happy!!! 🙂
Beautiful faces Beautiful souls
Hi Connie!!!
The raspberries are doing great! We trimmed them down and replanted some on the hill yesterday – it will be interesting to see if they survive out there. We’re going to be moving the trailer to that side of the building during construction, so that’s why we’re transplanting them. We’ll still have the beds on the other side of the building for the usual tomatoes, etc 🙂
What an amazing new play structure for the chimps. They must love it! Great volunteer effort!
I look forward to seeing these lovely faces everyday!!! They just make me smile
