The Tramp

The trampoline has got to be the best purchase we have ever made. The kids have been out on it nearly every day since we got it in March. I even had to yell at them to get their buts inside when it was raining torentiually in late April! Andres and I even get out there like a couple of hippos. We have to walrus our way onto the thing and after just a few minutes we are all out of breath, and our legs are rubbery. But, it's a great workout and we have a blast with the kids. They love to see us being such goof-balls!

Here are four of the five kids jumping with the sprinkler underneath. Jason could only take a few minutes of it. He was pretty scared of the water coming up through!

The ever popular "bum war".

Each of them get a chance to be double bounced during the war...this was Daniel's turn.

Here is Erica's turn to go flying!

And here is Natalie. She flies the highest, being the lightest.

Flips and tricks.

Here's Nattie doing a flip. She has been pretty proud of herself because she was the first of the three to actually get it down!

Erica flippin' out!

Daniel prefers to do the "back".

And here is Jason, keeping up with his older siblings. We can't believe the air he gets. Most kids his age will just stomp around the tramp and freak if anyone actually bounces at all!

We have had so much fun watching the kids do their thing on the trampoline, and have had a lot of fun doing it ourselves. Andres actually does flips! Sorry I don't have any pictures of that yet!
