Summer Fun

July 18, 2022 by Grace 13 Comments

The days have been getting hotter out here in Cle Elum and we have been working to provide the chimps with enrichment to help them stay cool. In Sofia’s Ask Us Anything blog last week, she talked about how we gave them pools of diluted Gatorade as temps were close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. We were able to snag some fun reaction videos from Cy’s group and I wanted to share them with you today! Enjoy, stay cool, and happy summer!

Rayne and Gordo:

    Thanks, Grace!
    Lol, that’s an expensive punchbowl! :sweat_smile:
    Someone said that either Rayne or Lucky uses it. I don’t know that we’ve ever seen any of the chimps in one of those rockers. Since Gordo likes to sit in things, has he ever used it?
    Only 80s here. You guys stay cool, too!

    Damn, I wish that it wasn’t so hot at the Sanctuary, or here, or on this planet. Here’s an entry for your “Ask Us Anything” blog post from last week: What planet, exactly, do the members of the Supreme Court of these United States live upon?

        Even if I agree, I have to say “aye”. This is my happy place, to escape all of that noise thatis present in just about every other aspect of my life

    I was beginning to wonder if Rayne was going to come up for air! It was such a fun video, thanks Grace.

    I love your Gatorade tubs and wobble-punch-bowls. Brilliant!

    Rayne! How did she not explode after all that Gatorade?! I guess she needed the electrolytes. And I am amazed Cy didn’t knock the tub over when he balanced on the edge.

    Thanks for the refreshing video.

      I thought he’d tipped it over, as well
