Work Play Work

April 22, 2018 by Kelsi

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!

Jody a little pilo:

We really put our volunteers to work today:

The chimps loved the final product:

    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!

      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 🙂
