New Trampoline

We welcomed Memorial Day weekend with a wonderful early Christmas present from Santa Claus! Jocelyn wrote to Santa last Sunday asking for a trampoline, and the letter must have traveled via overnight delivery because by Tuesday evening, we had a trampoline! Actually, Wendy helped pack the home of a family in the ward, Tori and Alan Crummack, and they offered us their practically new trampoline. Knowing how badly the children wanted a trampoline and knowing that our bed is tired of being their trampoline, especially at 10:30pm, we decided to kill our grass, peeve the neighbors, and attempt to wear-out the kids each night by taking the trampoline for a Summer Test Drive. That means that by August 31st, if Wendy is absolutely fed up with the fighting, injuries and yard damage that are by-products of trampoline ownership, we happily donate the trampoline to a deserving family of rambunctious children and we attempt to regrow our lawn. Otherwise, we continue to use the trampoline as a "time-out"space for Brent when he has testosterone bursts.
