Window installation day

Window installation day was last Friday, so the chimps had to be locked out of the playroom for the entire day. I did all I could to keep them busy so they wouldn’t get too bored or anxious during the construction, though they really didn’t seem to mind and were pretty interested to see what was happening. I put out tons of raisin boards, prepared by volunteers Jennifer & Larry the day before, which kept them busy for a while.

Burrito seemed pretty sure there was no better place to be that day than sitting in the window in the outdoor area looking into the playroom.

He even spied on the workers by looking at them in a mirror.

He doesn’t have a lot of guy friends, after all…

Missy checking out the construction: (Doesn’t she look young in this picture?!)

And the next day, the chimps finally got to take a look out their new clear picture window.

And of course, Negra:

    I’ve never seen Burrito with a raisin board before, does he ever use tools on them? I remember when he became frustrated because he couldn’t get the tube into the slurpee bowl. Does he get frustrated with raisin boards? I’ve never seen him do the mirror trick either.

    You know the chimps really do have something new to look at now with the new windows, I can’t get over how bright everything will be now. The last picture shows how blue the Cle Elum sky was today, now that’s a picture window.

    Seeing the chimps enjoy the clear view outside just warms my heart. I would love to know what Negra is thinking when she just sits and watches the outdoors. The window is indeed the best birthday gift. Thank you to all who made this possible and the guys for installing them!

    I love that photo of Negra gazing out the window at the landscape, thinking her thoughts.
