More Jumps

You'd think that jumping on the trampoline would involve....um, jumping.

But half the time on the trampoline actually involves lying down.  They are recovering from strenuous activity, or they are plotting the rules for the next round of jumping games. Or sometimes they have just argued and now are lying there trying to work out their differences before resuming their jumping-with-the-ball games.


Then they are back up, on their feet, and resuming footballish manuevers, which involve blocking, grabbing, jumping and bouncing.
And if there's a camera nearby, everyone wants me to take a picture of them in mid-air, leaping and diving.
The more spectacular the dive, the better the photo.   They dive, I take the picture, they look at it instantly and decide if it's good, or if they need to do another take.
I'm so glad they have found a good way to exercise in all this cold weather!

I'm ready to hit Sam's Club tomorrow and get us a trampoline. This post had me giggling.

Oh, they'd love that!!! Just make sure to get the net, which probably goes without saying. Very important!
