Several young kangaroos visited DevonHouse Senior Living April 10. Often referred to as joeys, a term used for baby marsupials, including kangaroos and koalas, as well as small animals in general, the young kangaroos traveled from Aldinger Farms in Halifax, Dauphin County, to inspire smiles and warm hearts.
