OK, so the kids have been begging for a trampoline for a long time. They used to jump years ago at my parents’ neighbors house. Last night they jumped on our neighbor/family friend’s and I realized they are at a great age for a trampoline. I snuck a peek after church today at Craigslist and spotted one in near excellent condition that was just posted this morning. We trekked up to North Charlotte this afternoon, disassembled it and the reassembled it this evening. The kids love it and it’s a great compliment to the pool in the backyard. I mean, if you consider the pool a bath tub to wash off the grass stuck to them from running back and forth. *ahem*
True to fashion, Scott couldn’t assemble a trampoline near a pool without scooting it close and making a jump and dive into the pool. And of course, the kids had to follow suit.
I’m praying for no broken bones and lots of fun for years to come!
Are you not going to put up a net on the trampoline for safety? I've seen too many videos of trampoline falls that we wouldn't let the kids on ours without the safety net up.
Oh yes, no worries. We moved the trampoline and put up padding and a net! I’d have a heart attack otherwise!
LOL – Watching Scott help the girls jump safely into the pool reminded me of my helping to feed our kids. I kept on catching myself opening my mouth as I moved the food towards their mouth as if by doing that it would help them open theirs… (Scott's jumping like it's going to help the girls make it into the pool)?! Fun post!
I noticed he was trying to get them to jump, especially Emma.
