Farm Babies

What a treasure the Minnesota Zoo continues to be. Hard to believe it turns 25 years old this year; it seems like only yesterday when they were talking about a state-of-the-art zoological garden out in the cornfields of Apple Valley, just about the time we were all feeling kinda creeped out by Como. Here’s a great way to celebrate: Put the kids in the minivan and head out to the up-and-running Family Farm section of the zoo, and watch them go ga-ga over the piglets, ducklings, calves, and other babes presently on order from Mother Nature.
