Ice Queens
March 11, 2019 by Katelyn -
Our heaps and mounds of snow have largely turned to heaps and mounds of ice with our recent windows of blue sky and sun, but we still have many spots of powder and icy crystals. With the humans’ persistent belief that each snow storm will be the last, we decided the chimps’ should continue to eat as much snow as possible since it’s going to be spring any day now. Fortunately, the chimps’ seem to agree.

OMG that pic of Foxie with steam from her breath is award winning !
Amazing! These photos, with the sun shining off the tops of their gorgeous heads, are simply fantastic! But the very top image of Foxie is incredible. The best! Talk about capturing the exact perfect instant — her eyes, the cold vapor rising off the snow, simply perfect! I so enjoy seeing them enjoying their snow.
I lived in ellensburg, wa. And loved the chimposiam, and I hope there are people like the Fouts who still care. Ml
Have you ever tried flavoring their snow cones with juice or syrup?
?
I believe that they said they’d done it a few times for a special occasion, with juice (because they’re watching their sugar content, and the chimps love it plain, anyway!).
Thanks for the pics, Katelyn……….looks like our Foxie friend has learned to avoid brain freeze by letting it melt at least partway before she throws that wadge in! Was there warm tea all around after?
Hi Linda,
No warm tea service today, but the sun was out and the chimps luxuriated in sun puddles all day long! 🙂
Hi Sherri,
We often add things like seeds, raisins and other dried fruit and occasionally will add a diluted fruit juice, but we do try to avoid additional sugars. 🙂
