Dave and I have been talking about getting the kids a trampoline for a little over a year. They keep asking for an XBox or a Nintendo Wii. We decided that instead of them playing games all the time it would be better to have something that kept them more active. Plus, when I was a kid our trampoline was one of our favorite things.
Our trampoline was rectangular, and you can't buy those anymore unless you have a gymnasium license for gymnastics (I tried). All the "grandkids" still love jumping on it. One of the rules my mom had was no jumping on Sunday. My sister and I had a secret code that we use and would always try and change to out smart my mom. We would do the code to each other and then sneak out in the backyard like we were getting away with something. My mom always knew and after a bit she would call us back in the house.
Anyway, I have been watching the sales and there was one advertised that seemed like it was a pretty good deal. Dave and I met at the store and surprised the kids that night.
They both have big plans of sleeping out on it (that was one of my favorites too, but sometimes we would get yelled at for being to noisy). They both have begged for the sprinkler under it too, another one of my favorites growing up. Too bad it has been cold, I haven't let them yet. I am sure that will come, it can't be freezing here forever, can it?
Ali and Zach had fun helping dad put it up. You gotta love those bonding moments. :)
