Jumping for Joy

Justin and I bought the girls a trampoline last night. We had talked about getting them one for a couple of years now, and finally felt that they were all old enough to handle it! Justin put it together this morning along with the net to keep them from falling off! Even though it has felt like 100+ degrees today, they have had the best time jumping on it! Here was the process of setting it up:



From the truck...




To the garage...



Gotta read the instructions!...



Lilly checks out every detail...



To the backyard...



Hallie helps...



Abby helps...





Starting to look like a trampoline!....




Water break! It is hot!




Roger thinks it is nice that we are giving him a covered bathroom area!



Daddy breaks out the famous Grand Canyon water rafting/Chinese farmer/Austrailian outbacker/lawnmowing/I don't want skin cancer hat!




Putting up the safety net...



Ta da! We have a trampoline! (All except for the padded cover for the springs that was supposed to go on before the net! Oh well, we will fix that later!) Now, there is only one thing left to do...






JUMP!!















What fun! By the way, if you haven't yet, check out our summer 2009 slide show at the very bottom of the page!

  1. How fun! I can't tell you how many different silly little games we made up to play on the trampoline! I used to spend hours on it with my friends! And nothing was more fun than getting to camp on it at night with our sleeping bags!

  2. Ooh! Camping on it- what a good idea! Our girls would love that! They have already discovered how fun it is to put their swimsuits on, turn the sprinkler on it, and run around in the water! They are having a blast!

  4. also, i saw the posed bathing suits in the sprinkler picture of the girls...i think it is so cute, as everyone would think so too...but when they get older they are gonna get a kick out of it, and will probably be embarrased of it! my mom posed us in our bathing suits by the beach when we were little. we just recently found it and my sisters and i were so grossed out by ourselves! but you know what? it's something that we can look back on and laugh and remember the good times!
