Trampoline: done

Yesterday I helped our yard crew put together the trampoline.

The tramp was given to us by our home teacher. He used it for a video shoot (he runs an ad agency) and just had it sitting in storage. So a big shout out to Steve for making Eliana’s day (week, month and year for that matter).

We did pretty well putting the thing together until we decided to hook it up to the frame by going around the circumference instead of alternating points across the circle. It was a real challenge to stretch the trampoline once we got about half-way done. But we managed.

Eliana was the first one to try it out. Her smile said it all.




I went inside to get Dominic and bring him out. As soon as I stepped outside with him he started swinging his arms and kicking his feet and squealing like a girl. I think he saw his sister jumping on something new and hoped it would be his turn next. I took him for a spin and he loved it as well.

So, hopefully our plan to turn our back yard’s real estate into something useful, especially something that’ll occupy the little ones, is starting to pay off.
