Today has been a day full of celebration and goodies as our beloved friend Annie turned 50 years young! As Jenna talked about in her recent blog, we are not sure of her real birth date, but celebrate the occasion on September 10th each year. We went all out to celebrate this wonderful chimpanzee person with mini banana cream pies and tea in the morning, fresh sunflowers and grape vines as a mid-morning celebration, and banana nut bread mini cupcakes with a peanut butter and yogurt frosting with more sunflowers, corn, fresh peaches, tomatoes, green beans, and mini peppers for lunch. Come back tomorrow to see the video of the festivities! I’ll be sharing some sneak peek photos from the day below. Happy birthday Annie, you are so very loved!!

Burrito loved the grape vines too, but for a different reason. They were perfect for a game of tug!
Negra made a nest with some blankets, then settled in to enjoy her grape vines.
