Before I get to the blog. I just have to say WOW! Thank you to everyone who has donated to Giving Tuesday and Give Big. Our original goal was $25,000 and you all have helped us exceed our goal!! We have raised over $36,720 so far as I write this. Give Big is still going until the end of today, if anyone is looking to help just click on Give Big! This has been a scary time and a lot of unknown for us and we just want to give you the biggest thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
This blog may seem to have no theme today. With a video about walking and wonderfully random chimp photos. But, there are a lot of fun and different interactions that happened today. The chimps have a different enrichment theme everyday, today’s theme was soapy buckets. You all can already assume Honey B partook, and you would be right! However, Foxie had a bucket to herself and Jody and Burrito shared a bucket together. Honey B was wearing a great 70s style sweatband. Negra and Burrito had a huge play session. Missy put her foot in a sweater while Jody playfully tugged on it. Annie had the sweater in her mouth and Missy played tug-of-war. Though the weather wasn’t great and there were 20 mile an hour winds, Willy B still managed to run out onto the boardwalk a few times! And the list goes on and on!
Sadly, I did not get photos or videos of all of those things! But, I hope you enjoy these photos.

Honey B was washing her buckets and transferring water from one bucket to the other.
Willy B snagging some apples and braving the wind:
Tomorrow he will go on that platform. I can feel it!
Also Honey B’s sweet toes:
If you look closely you can see the sweatband. I love the way she is sitting on the railing.

Thanks Kelsi for taking us on a walk with Jamie, and silly Burrito and Missy. What a dramatic sky above the sanctuary today, gorgeous! Foxie looks as if she is back to her old funny self. Thanks for all the different perspectives from your day at CSNW! Never a dull moment.
Sounds like another fun day. Those toes, just want to pinch and tickle them. Willie B you’re going to love those wide open spaces buddy, you are so brave.
Great pictures of your “kids” playing and having a great time. That always makes me
smile. Free to be comes to mind. So happy they can be FREE now to do what makes
them happy. Congrats to you for the money raised. I’m sure it is well deserved.
Third photo of Foxie is hilarious.
Thanks for the walk with Jamie! I can always pick her out on the Hill because her back is so straight compared to the others. Like a table! I often wonder if that’s because she didn’t spend her earliest years in a small cage as the rest of them did …
Great pictures, too — I love seeing them all play with soapy water enrichment. Foxie is the silliest! LOL
I simply can’t stop looking & laughing out loud…That precious look on Foxie’s face at the end is P R I C E L E S S…I LOVE it…
