I think it’s possible Foxie could get anyone in the mood to play.

Knitting for Jamie
Since Jamie loves projects and seems to find great enjoyment in manipulating objects (she has even tried her hand at sewing), we thought she might enjoy watching us knit.
Snow – no joke
Today’s weather seems like an April Fool’s Day joke! See photo:
It’s been snowing all day. It’s the first time the greenhouse has been tested with a snowstorm. The chimps have been out there all day, despite the complete lack of sun. J.B. just came by and reported that it is 66 degrees out there! And Burrito went out and played chase with him.
This morning, volunteer Denice made sure the chimps had plenty of snow to eat. Annie was appreciative.
Negra enjoyed an afternoon nesting / vine chewing session.
while Jamie used a vine to work on some project of her own making (with a boot by her side)
Beyond trolls
Paper Roll
What else would Jamie do with a giant roll of paper??
St. Patrick’s Day Party
As promised, here is some video of the chimpanzees’ fun and festive party yesterday. Thanks so much to everyone who contributed and made the party possible. You truly made the chimps’ day!
Play Faces
Missy loves going through the culvert – she always comes out the other side with a big smile on her face!
