Afternoon play

May 11, 2009 by Elizabeth

While waiting for us to finish cleaning the playroom today, Missy and Annie found a way to entertain themselves. (I apologize for the length, but I didn’t want to cut any of it out!)

    It’s fascinating how they cooperate in their play.

    This one made me laugh out loud. I love the tickling and toe licking…and when one gets the toy away from the other then offers it back so they can keep going. Those gals sure do love each other. BFF’s forever.

    NEVER apologize for length, Elizabeth! I am sure I speak for all the CCCs in saying that no matter what the length the videos are always too short! This is the best yet. Thankyou.

    Yep, I’m with Margaret and Karen – LOVE the longer videos – we can’t ever get enough you know Elizabeth! 😉 This was so much fun to watch!!

    Oh Elizabeth the longer the better. Then we only have to watch them 25 times instead of 50!!! 🙂 I’m with Kat. I laughed out loud, too. They are just so cute together, interacting, and finding what the other one wants. Thanks.
    And a belated Happy Birthday to Jody and Happy Mother’s Day to all the ladies, both chimp and human. You all are indeed the best mothers the chimps have ever known, so loving and caring.

    Ditto on the longer videos! There is nothing to bring a smile to my face quicker than playfaces and tussling chimps. They missed so many years playing and it makes me so happy to see them enjoying themselves. You go, girls! Have fun!

    I just got off the board call and decided I needed some chimp time so came to the blog to see what’s been going on lately.

    I love Annie’s play 1-2, 1-2 punches to Missy’s belly. It’s so great to watch these two play like this. Thanks for not editing the length!
