Today is hot, hot, hot here in Central Washington and the chimpanzees are making the most of the day by relaxing in style. Each chimpanzee has been resting and nesting according to his or her personal preference.

Jamie enjoying the cool, shaded front rooms and, of course, a boot or two:

Negra relaxing in one of her favorite playroom hangouts, the catwalk with a view of the valley:

Jody resting comfortably beside the open barn doors of the playroom with a view to the garden:

Burrito lying on his back in the warmth of the greenhouse:

Foxie lying on her side, also in the greenhouse:

Missy took quite a while to construct the absolute perfect nest for herself in the greenhouse:

And almost immediately upon completion of it, promptly ran off onto Young’s Hill. So, while Missy was off on an adventure, Annie took full advantage of her friend’s skilled nest building.
