Jump for Joy!

This is the new view from our back deck. Fun! I've been trying to convince Greg for a long time now to get the boys a trampoline. Well, on Thursday the Canadian Tire flyer came out and they had this 12 ft trampoline with a full enclosure on sale for $150 off. He couldn't say no! Well that and the kids begged him! So, on Saturday we went and got one. After 2 hours of set-up it was done. Though this isn't going to be it's permanent home, Greg is going to have to dig out some bushes in order to push it all the way back into that corner and further from the pond. The kids have been on it pretty much non-stop since Saturday. Isaiah enjoys getting on and getting off, getting on and getting off. Kind of annoying because we have to help him all the time but that's okay. Zay really enjoys jumping and isn't afraid when he gets tossed by Greg or I or the other kids. Noah is already doing flips. Yikes! All in all it was a great purchase and it will only get used more in the years to come.


Well, that is going to have to be it for back-yard play things for a while. We have officially run out of room. Apparently a veggie garden, shed, deck, pond, swingset, and trampoline can fill up your backyard. Next house.....a bigger yard!

The family pic at the top of your blog is beautiful! My heart stops when I see kids on a trampoline, but that's cuz I never had one and almost get dizzy at the thot of jumping on one. Ah well. Enjoy. We thot we were coming to BC in Sept - that's on hold till Nov. Shirley
