A Hill of Beans

May 20, 2024 by J.B.

And just like that, Honey B (aka Beans, to some of us) became an outdoor chimp. This particular clip actually took place over a week ago and she has been out on her hill several times since! For now she is staying close to home (as is Mave) but I bet they’ll be exploring more soon. Your turn, Dora!

Here are a few photos of today’s lunch forage on the Bray.

    Finally…Honey B out on the Bray, I’m so proud of her and sweet Mave, the first one out. Keep it up girls. Everything looks so pretty outside, I just love the firehose roofs on the climbing structures. The pictures are wonderful today.

    Loved watching the two guys hop around in the entry to the Bray. And love the firehose toppers on the structures- nice to look at, good sun protection, more room to climb.

    That’s great news about Honey B!! Oh the trouble she could get into outside. I hope every piece of wood is triple screwed down!! Eight minutes outside, so amazing. Maybe the new additions to the Bray will entice Dora to join in.

    I loved the dance between Gordo and Terry! And Cy finding the whole apple and orange with his hoots of excitement. Score! And last but not least, Foxie’s beautiful play face as she plucked Annie away from Burrito. …..oh, and Jamie delicately sipping from her teeny tiny tea cup. Sigh…..

    Yeah you go Beans!!!!! I’m so glad to see HB enjoying the great outdoors. Now we just have to get Dora out there!!!
    Terry and Gordo bunny hopping is so cute. I love those boys.
    Also how cute is Annie and Bub’s play session? And Jamie sipping her water with sophistication.

    So many great things in this video…yay to Honey B and Mave, they are so brave. The boys hopping around were adorable, and the playdate of Burrito, Annie and Foxie so joyful. Thank you all for providing such a wonderful home for them :heart_eyes:

    The trees and hoses make the structures seem transformed, JB! And you guys will now have a bigger challenge getting clear shots! Totally worth it!

    The boys’ bunny hops were awesome, and for once, we didn’t have Interrupting Annie, we had Interrupting Foxie!

    The Terry/Girdo do-si-do dance is priceless. Those firehose roof tops give the climbing structures an almost pagoda look.

    Now, lets be honest folks. Ya gotta believe Honey B is outside, not for sunshine and fresh air, but to scheme some new shenanigans. Only a matter of time.

    Mave reaching her arms out to hug Rayne is priceless!
