Photos by Ray Miller-Still and Kevin Hanson Last weekend’s sun was perfect for heading to Maris Farms’ final Baby Animals and Blooms Days, which ran on weekends from April 27 through Mother’s Day. The farm always has something to offer kids and families, but the annual springtime event brings out baby animals to pet and fields of flowers to frolic through. Pictured is Emma and her older sister Eleanor sniffing the last of the tulips available for picking; Lyric speeding down the Mega Slide; and Adrienne Stuart and son Charlie sharing the feeding duties with one of the farm’s 8-week-old Nigerian Dwarf Goats, which was a new offer this year.
