We have had a tradition in our house (thanks to the Vanhorne family) since the kids were little. We make it a contest to see who can spot the first "Robin of Spring". John, hands down, holds the record. He has a distinct advantage now, seeing that he works in a park, and he is further South. Even when he lived here, he was usually the winner. That child is so observant of his surroundings. Anyway, after we have a winner, we celebrate with an ice cream cake. Since John and Cassie are not here to celebrate the season with us...I am going to change it up this year. The first Kyte family member to spot the first "Robin of Spring" will receive a 10.00 gift card to the place of their choice. Okay guys...start looking!*and for my little chicks listening pleasure... http://www.last.fm/music/Raffi/_/Robin+In+The+Rain (the player is on the right)
