trampoline fun!

my kids LOVE to jump on trampolines! i'm sure most kids do, but mine just can't get enough of it. they have one family of friends with a trampoline and girls' dance teacher has one, so they always have take advantage when we are there. they would jump for hours if i would stay long enough. adam is convinced that we would end up with broken bones...even though both he and i grew up with trampolines and our families never had broken bones from the trampoline. kids break their arms falling off of bikes or any of a million other things...a trampoline doesn't guarantee broken bones. besides, i think they are essentials for the girls to learn and practice gymnastics. anyway, i would love for the kids to have one, and they would love, love, LOVE to have one...maybe one day. in the meantime, we're grateful for friends who do have them!

Oh, man. We have this argument at our house too. I want a trampoline sooooo bad for our kids and Spencer will have none of it. It makes me so sad. We have the perfect place for one and everything. I think it is such good exercise for kids and wears them out! All moms appreciate that. Good luck!

Ha ha, that is so funny! That is exactly what Brian says. And that is why we don't have one. Apparently he feels better if the kids break their limbs at the neighbors house.

we so need to have you & your kids come over to play!!! ...breaking bones on the trampoline does happen...when mike was almost two he broke his little leg. :( we still got one though...does that mean we're bad parents? :P
