trampoline


Eli got a trampoline for his 12th birthday yesterday and the kids had SO much fun on it all day.  I was reluctant to get one for years because, you know, I didn't want anyone cracking their neck.  But I actually played on one a lot as a kid.  So I'm thinking I shouldn't have been so worried.  They really are a lot of fun.  And good excercise. 

Unfortunately, Eli had been home all week with a bad cough and was finally feeling better but I think the long day of play and party set him back a bit.  He's going to have to take it easy today.  Thing is, I don't know that I can keep him off the trampoline.

Oh!  And we surprised him by bringing his big brother, Ethan, home for his birthday.  He loves him.  He was happy.

So awesome, and I am kind a sap sometimes but the bit about bringing Ethan home and how Eli loves him put a little damp in my eye.

I nearly killed myself on one of those trampolines. We used to get really CRAZY though, with way too many kids at once.
