Fact: Baby Animals Are Cute

Don't believe me? On May 16, 2010, from 11-4, the Stamford Museum and Nature Center proves my case during its Spring on the Farm event.

Good luck to you, my friend, disproving my theory in the face of overwhelming evidence when the spring babies display their mind numbing adorableness.

You and your family can try to work up your counter argument while also checking out the other farm themed events on site, including:

- Sheep shearing and other wool-related goodness
- Maypole dancing (and you thought a french braid was complicated)
- A working oxen demonstration
- Children's planting exhibit
- A Boarder Collie demonstration
- An incubation station (get ready to tell your kids about birds, bees and/or storks)
- Children's games, prizes, arts & crafts, story telling, hay rides, face painting
- Plant and herb sale

There will be refreshments on site and a reasonable price tag: $5 for members, $10 for non-members, "Family PLUS" members (and above levels) free, and children three and under are free.

The event will go on, rain or shine. If it's rain, escape inside for a bit and check out the ongoing Gerberich’s Gadgetry exhibit in the museum.

In conclusion, baby animals are cute.
