For Christmas we decided to combine funds from grandparents and get the kids something they could all use. So after much deliberation (and talking with every single person I know who owns one...) we decided to let them get their hearts' desire:
a trampoline! Let me tell you, this thing has been used more than I'd ever dreamed. Not a day has gone by (with the exception of Sundays and a few extremely rainy days) that the kids haven't been out jumping and playing on it:
Grandpa showed us some of his tricks (I didn't catch his back flip...dang it!) and taught the kids how to play T-Rex:
They've all spent hours and hours and hours out on that thing:
It has been used for naps and picnics:
...and all kinds of fun (including bouncing Ryan too high...)
The look on Aimee's face says it all...crazy girl!
(I just say a little prayer every time they head out there that no one will get hurt! :)
