Sierra Clotts, 5, of Minneapolis, celebrated her April 1 birthday with the farm babies at the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley. (The kissably cute goat, one of triplets, was born four days ago.) Also pictured is zoologist Dawn Walker.

At left, the mother of the triplets patiently ate her lunch while her kids walked all over her. The Farm Babies event, at the zoo's Wells Fargo Family Farm, runs through April 30. In addition to the goats, there are baby chicks, pigs, lambs, calves and bunnies. For a schedule of activities, admission prices and more information, go to mnzoo.org.
