Our Outdoor Pets

We have a robin who has decided to make her home on part of our swingset. It's been pretty cool to experience with the kids. We have watched her build her nest, and sit in it quite a bit. Then, one day Pete realized that there were several eggs in the nest. We have told the girls quite often to not touch the nest at all and once the eggs were discovered we reminded them again. The girls have been very good about being quiet around the nest--especially when Mommy-Bird is resting, and to not play too much on the part of the swingset that the nest is resting. Well, today we realized that 3 of the 4 eggs have hatched. We were fortunate enough to watch Mommy-Bird feed her babies. So sweet.
