Go Hawks!

We’re always looking for a reason to celebrate and throw a party here at the sanctuary. What better reason for a party than to join fans in cheering on the Seattle Seahawks for Super Bowl XLIX today?

So, how exactly do we throw a Super Bowl Party for chimpanzees you may ask? Well, nothing says a party like green and blue streamers, blankets and toys. Throw in some Seahawks cups, plates, napkins, a football, 12th man socks, t-shirt and arm sleeves. And finally, to top it off (and quite possibly the best part if you ask Burrito) we set up a lunch forage in the Playroom, consisting mostly of green colored foods (lettuce, green peppers, cucumbers and potatoes) and blue drinks (watered down gatorade).

Here are photos from the set up:

    Love your parties! What a surprise to see Negra tackle the “12th Man” cups! I love her technique, she didn’t spill a drop! I had my bet placed on Jamie going for the cups after seeing her enjoying all the sparkling cider on New Year’s eve :

    Somehow after years of watching the “7” I believe the caretakers have just as good a time planning and setting up the parties as the “7” do enjoying them:) No?
