Jumping

Jeremy and I had been considering the purchase of a trampoline for a couple months. In November we decided to watch Black Friday deals. There was a deal that was just ok and we had it in our Amazon cart. We were just about to make the purchase and then decided to wait a couple days longer just because we weren't really convinced whether it was a wise purchase for us. 

The day before Thanksgiving Janell sent me a text that one of her coworkers had posted on facebook that they had a trampoline they were ready to get rid of--for free to whoever would pick it up. A couple messages later and it was ours. I would have left right then to pick it up, but the family kindly agreed to let us pick it up the following Monday after we returned from our Thanksgiving visit with Jeremy's family. 

Given that it's dark by the time Jeremy gets home from work, I figured it was my responsibility to pick it up. My plan was that Josiah would go with me and we would take it apart and bring it home. I was a little nervous about that plan. 

As it worked out Jeremy was home when it was time to leave and he agreed to go with me. Actually I went with him. When we arrived the family had already taken the trampoline down so all we had to do was load it up and bring it home!

Saturday the guys put it together. It has been well used, but there is a bit of jumping left in it.

Then they got to jump!

So far the temperatures have allowed them to be out every day. Today I let Anna and Isaiah go out before they started school. I'm pretty sure they would have stayed out most of the morning. I learned my lesson the trampoline will be reward to finishing segments of school.
