Mirror, mirror on the wall…

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

J.B. hung the mirror today in the playroom that the blog/forum participants purchased for the Cle Elum Seven. The chimpanzees love it! Jamie was pretty intent on figuring out how to remove it from the wall, so J.B. put a frame around it at the end of the day. Below is a video and photos of their first inspections and reflections.

Outside at last

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

With the crazy weather, the chimps had not been able to go outside for a few days. It’s been sunny three days running now (with more to come!), and we’ve been able to give them a bit of outside time. They go out for brief periods even when it’s cold (but sunny) and windy – you can hear the wind in the video below. They run around, swing, play chase, and grab handfuls of snow to bring back inside.
