Winter Blues? Cure It With Baby Farm Animals!

Nothing says spring like baby farm animals. We found out there were some new lambs at Muscoot Farm in Katonah and took a trip to see them this past weekend. The temps were in the high 30s, but we bundled up, put on our rain boots to protect against the melting snow, and made the half-hour trip north.

It turned out to be a great visit. Most of the animals are indoors in their respective "houses," and we saw cows, horses, turkey, chicken, pigs, goats, and of course the sheep. There were two baby lambs, one born a week ago, and one born just that morning! 

The other animal my kids liked a lot were the pigs, which were huge. I didn't get a good picture of them (they were too big to fit into my camera frame!), but they were literally three times the size of me. I've always thought of pigs as about the size of a dog, but these pigs were more like small cows. Still cute, though.

The animals were in close proximity to one another, which was great because it was so muddy out. It was a good thing we wore rain boots; the kids were really into the puddles.

One more day until spring officially begins!
