After yesterday’s light rainfall, Central Washington is positively bursting with green today! The majority of the deciduous trees seemed to unfurl their leaves overnight and I even got a whiff of cherry blossoms as I pulled into the parking lot this morning. This fresh wave of spring and a party for the chimps was the absolute best way to celebrate Love a Chimpanzee Day!
Over in the Phase 1 part of the building, Willy B, Mave and Honey B were treated to a special “Love a Chimpanzee” lunch that featured fresh coconut, an all time favorite! Honey B was seen cleverly stomping on her coconut chunk to get it to loosen up. For the 7 chimps on the other side of the building, watermelon bowls were a big hit on Young’s Hill and the most fun part of the day to photograph.

Missy (not pictured) was zooming around the greenhouse collecting whole tomatoes as fast as she possibly could. Happy Love a Chimpanzee Day!
Looks like so much fun and sounds like a good time was had by all. Those watermelon bowls look so appetizing and really popular LOL Love that last picture of Jody and Burrito:) Happy Love a Chimpanzee day to all of you!!! Thank you for all that you do.
Nothing can hold a candle to Jo’s triumphant face on a forage day!

Thank you, Monica!
As always, Love A Chimpanzee Day does not disappoint! Monica, thanks for bringing me so much joy today too. Foxie, Negra, Burrito, Annie, and three-fisted-Jamie (with watermelon spilling out from everywhere) all look over the moon with their watermelon, but yes, Jody’s expression is as good as it gets.
3 bowls was my absolute favorite. No surprise it was Jamie–she’s so-so-sooooooooo smart
