Recently, Jamie invented a new game that we have dubbed, formally and officially, the “slappy swingy game”. Jamie cannot get enough of this game, perhaps because it requires her caregivers to run around and act ridiculous…

In my opinion, you can never look ridiculous having fun with the chimps. If they enjoy it and so does the human, have at it! Maybe Jamie thinks you guys need some exercise…LOL!
That’s pretty funny/cute! I bet the humans will wear out long before Jamie’s arm gets tired. LOL!
Dearest Jackie
I do think your “attempt” to keep up with Jamie is hmmmmm… how do I put this nicely………….. futile. She seams to have a much better grasp of timing than you.
My dear Elizabeth………
I thought this was a “one chimp – two human” game. I think I would like to see the two of you (humans) trying to keep up the beat with Jamie.
Miss you all
I think you need to put out a new aerobics video….Working Out With Jamie! I am exhaused just watching you, Jackie! :) Thanks for the fun video!
Oh I wish I could just hang and swing like that. Looks so easy when Jamie does it!!
What fun! (for Jamie, anyway ha ha)
Caregiver is too small a word! Thanks for all you do for these 7 special beings!!!
The clanking keys add great extra sound effects!!! THis really needs to be marketed…..interspecies personal trainers!!!!!!
It is nice to see Jamie play!
