There is a sheep shearing event at Springton Manor Farm tomorrow (Saturday, April 26th) from 10am to 4pm... price is a $5 parking fee... usually it's free but this looks like it will be worth the price if it doesn't pour down rain.

I took the kids over there for a picnic today and watched them set up the tents. The newborn lambs are out and are, of course, as cute as can be.

Springton Manor is on our rotation of great places to take the kids... usually it's free, and they have lots of animals and a working farm, a great barn and tractors kids can climb on. It's a little early in the season yet, but the butterfly house is a lot of fun as well. We took a picnic lunch and watched the turtles dive into the fishing pond.

From Downingtown it's a short drive up 322 north, and over by Ludwig's Corner you can cut through to 282 and it is only a few minute's drive.
