Juice buckets
January 1, 2009 by Sarah -
Once in a while we put juice, tea, and other drinks into buckets and pans outside the chimps’ enclosure. Then we give them long tubes to use as straws. It’s fun and gives them a project to work on for a little while. Here are some pics!

Hey maybe we can consider this their New Year’s champagne….a little after midnight, but still on New Year’s Day! Betcha it tastes even better than champagne to them after so many years of just dirty water. Here’s to all the juice, tea, smoothies and other yummy drinks in store for The 7 in 2009! Thanks so much for the post, Sarah ~ HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!
Yuuuummmm – watermelon juice! Can I have a tube for that bucket, too? LOL. What a treat in the middle of the winter!
Oh my gosh this is the funniest thing yet!!!
What a great idea! I’m sure it’s fun for them to be able to decide which drink they want to drink from, and then they have to get their “straw” in the right bucket! Cheers to the Cle Elum 7, and Happy New Year to everyone!! 🙂
