Trampoline...

So I am not really a huge fan of the trampoline...in fact before we were married and had kids we swore we wouldn't have one---one of the many things we swore we would NEVER do, but I digress--so anyway I know they can be dangerous. However now that we own one we have learned a) they can be dangerous..IF kids are unsupervised, if too many kids are on it, if big kids and little kids are on it and b) they aren't quite as dangerous when you consider all the other things kids do that are dangerous...like riding bikes, running, playing on swingsets (how many kids get broken limbs from falling off a swingset)...and in Zachary's case sleeping (fell out of bed the other night and got a HUGE goose egg) and c) the kids absolutely LOVE the darn thing.
My dad gave us a trampoline a year or 2 ago...it started out with a net and a pad that our chew crazy dog destroyed. We keep saying we are going to take it down but the kids play on it ALL the time. Robert, much to my dismay, thought it would be a fabulous idea to move the trampoline directly next to the pool while he mowed...yes you know what he then let them do...jump from the trampoline to the pool. Yes this would be a dangerous activity, thankfully it didn't end on a bad note...and it was moved back.
Another favorite past time...that won me the "best mommy a kid could ever have" award. Putting the sprinkler under the trampoline...lots of giggling and screeches of joy from that event. Seriously they were on cloud 9....
All that explaining to support these photos....don't tell me it doesn't look like tons of fun...
