One of the Few Things I Have Been Forbidden To Buy

       The things daughters can talk their Dads into buying....There are very few things Shawn has ever asked me not to buy.  A trampoline was at the very top of that very short list.  Jenna has been asking for about 3 years now.  She asks and asks.  Then goes on to something else.  But the question always comes back.  This year it was "buy a trampoline for the lake.  That will be more safe Dad"!  So i researched that and after seeing the price ($800 range), I knew we were getting a land trampoline.  Jenna finally wore post deployment Daddy down and he agreed to a round, smaller one, with a safety net.  And thanks to Walmart and $9.95, UPS delivered it right to the front door in 2 days!


   I didn't dare start trying to put the thing together without Shawn.  The first night we did get it put up, without the safety net, before it started to rain.  Hence no pictures of jumping the first time!  Jenna patiently handed Shawn springs and screws for about 2 hours.  The second evening the safety net was put up.





    And you can see what the other kids did....
