‘Twas the day before Christmas

December 24, 2020 by Anna

This morning the chimpanzees were greeted by a sparkling frosty outdoor wonderland on Young’s Hill. Frost licking (if you’re a chimpanzee), is the next best thing to snow snacking. Negra was first outside after breakfast and even chose to soak up a little sunshine after sampling some frost.  I always imagine Negra’s forehead acting as a solar panel when she needs a recharge.

Foxie frolicking through the frost (say that five times fast).

Frolicking- with an emphasis on licking.

Speaking of Jamie, the boss spotted one of her Christmas presents sitting out in the foyer before we could wrap it. Naturally, she demanded that Kelsi toss up her new pair of boots immediately.

Good thing for Jamie and her friends, there are plenty of additional gifts waiting in the wings for tomorrow’s festivities. Kelsi and Chad have been wrapping and assembling presents all afternoon long:

One more sleep till Christmas- Wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday!

In Honor of Kathleen and Stephen Hero!

December 24, 2020 by Chad de Bree

Today is sponsored by Caroline Hero in the memory of her parents, Kathleen and Stephen Hero!

“In memory of our parents: Kathleen and Stephen Hero. Thinking of you every day, forever in our hearts. Every day is difficult when you lose a parent and Christmas is a particularly difficult time of year. Once again, instead of buying presents, I am giving my siblings the gift of love and support for those in need! Reading the blogs and watching the videos brings great joy to our hearts and supporting the Cle Elum family is my idea of the best present to both give and receive. Christmas is about giving and sharing, and I wish you all health, happiness and every success caring for these beautiful animals.”

Thank you so much for this extremely thoughtful gift and way to honor you parents! We all hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday season!
