Family Explorations April 6, 2011

Spring is here! Let's go exploring! Which animals will have babies during this season? How do the sheep look once they have had their spring haircuts? When will the bluebirds and bobolinks return to make their nests? Find out as we meet different animals - both farm and wild, and participate in a variety of hands-on and outdoor activities. Bring your curiosity and excitement as we wander through the farm and the sanctuary. - - All ages welcome, though oldest child must be at least 2 years old. Up to three children per adult.
