Trampoline Fun

For Easter this year the kids got a trampoline (I know, the Easter Bunny went all out). They have wanted one for years and we finally broke down and got one. Actually, the real reason was I needed something fun enough in our backyard to keep Enoch entertained and not wandering the neighborhood while I was busy with Kate. Anywho, our family has loved it. Greg worked very hard to sink it into the ground (my request). His Dad, Dee, brought up his full-sized tractor, ripped out the fence and dug a hole. You should have seen the fun Enoch had in the mud hole in our backyard. All of his trucks were down in there and he would come in covered and caked in mud. I suppose that was what I had to put up with to get the trampoline buried. We are very lucky Dee was so willing to help us. Like I said the boys love it. Enoch asks everyday to jump on the trampoline with Mom or Dad. After jumping for a little while he says "Let's just sit down and talk." We have had some great conversations on the tramp. Gavin loves to take his books out there and read. They can't wait until the weather warms up and they can sleep on the tramp or hook up the hose and jump on a wet trampoline. It has been great fun and just the start to our "remodeling" the backyard. Stay tuned for more progress.
