Off to the Races

Diana thought she was going right back to the office after cattle feeding but as she was backing the Gator into the barn, Jamie flagged her down. It was time to race.

Diana put the machine back into gear and drove up the hill.

Burrito ran to catch up and they both tried to stay ahead of Diana.

Missy came storming up from behind to join in the fun.

After a long, tough winter, it was good to see the gang out racing again.

I think Jamie let Diana win this one…

    So much fun to see them out and enjoying themselves – and where did the snow go?? Whew. That disappeared like magic.

    Awesome! I know you enjoyed that Diana.

    Hey – is there something up with Jamie’s thigh?

    What fun! Clearly Jamie was certain that Diana needed some enrichment after the big snows so decided to help her get back into the swing of things with a Gator race! Diana, is that better for you than a raisin puzzle board?

    When being flagged down by Jamie you better hop to it. It’s so good to see the kids out on the hill having fun again. Diana looks cute driving the Gator!

    They deserve a good life after suffering painful experiments. They aren’t stupid and have feelings.

    Looks like fun, can I join in? Where did all the snow go? I’m glad Spring came early to the hill and the 7 were out having fun, I hope Negra ventured out from her nest….

    It is truly heart warming to watch the chimps enjoy their life and what they like to do. I always have a smile on my face when I see the blogs and watch the fun. Keep them coming. Thank you.
