The trampoline

After much debate, we decided to get the kids a trampoline for Christmas.  After talking to Gigi and Mr. Don and my dad (Mr. Jerry), they all decided to chip in and generously ended up paying for almost all of it!!!

We showed it to the boys on Christmas eve afternoon since Troy didn't want to put it together in the dark.

They weren't sure what to think at first but quickly recovered from their shock and begged to jump.

 They had to wait until Christmas to bounce since it was raining.  They LOVE it!  Especially when Troy gets in there too.

I can definitely see lots of hours spent out there. 
As long as they follow the rules, I don't even have to be out there.  These are the rules:
1. No tattling.
2. Keep your hands to yourself.
3.  Always say sorry.
4.  If the zipper is open, no one is jumping.

Thanks again, Gigi, Mr. Don, and Mr. Jerry!!!
