Trampoline

We set up Michael's trampoline.  This happened 2 weeks ago, before Spring Break.  I'm just slow in posting because I've been outside constantly monitoring said trampoline.  If you remember, Michael got a trampoline for Christmas in an effort to help limit his screen obsession.  It worked.  The kids LOVE it and spent their entire spring break jumping.  And an added plus, they were all exhausted and slept in every day.

 Michael helped a lot with the setup.

 And since Caleb wants to do everything Michael does, of course he wanted to help.


A circular frame means you better run in circles, of course.

Half way done!  This took a whole lot longer than I expected.  Now to put the enclosure together.
Done!  Michael gets to be the first to jump.
 Check out how high he can jump.
The kids LOVE the trampoline.  I'm so glad my sister talked me into getting one.  I was skeptical because I was worried they'd break a bone or something.  Then my sister reminded me about how many bones my kids have broken on household furniture and that maybe we should get rid of our couch and chairs since they cause broken bones.  That convinced me.

  1. How exciting! We got one for the boys for their birthdays. We were setting up ours today! (But then it got freezing and it rained so we are only half done.) I hope it works for screen obsessed kids at our house too.
