Bouncing Beans

As some of you may remember we lost our swingset a year or so ago to a freak windstorm that took down several trees -- one of them right onto the swingset.

We loved that swingset even though it was never used for it's actual purpose. It was something to do in the backyard and it served a variety of jobs; most significantly the leave-mom-alone-for-a-few-minutes job.

But we couldn't justify another swingset with two 11-year-olds. So instead we got a trampoline
Yes, you read that correctly. I got a trampoline for the two girls who can break an ankle jumping on their beds.

Here's a couple of photos. Since these were taken we did put the enclosure around the thing, to make a little safer. But I've still got the ER on speed dial!

High-Five on the trampoline!

 How high can you go? (Really lots higher than this!)

Happy, tired girls!
