Our New Toy!

So about six months ago when it was really cold and winter was setting in, ICON decided to clear out their warehouse. So they had a huge parking lot sale, with items dirt cheap. Brad and I intended on going and getting me an elliptical, but little did we know that we would come home with a tramp instead. Side note, I am still waiting for my elliptical. So this huge box has been sitting in our garage for the last six months. It was finally warm enough up here to set it up. Well at least we thought. (Little did we know that it would snow the next day.) We spent most the afternoon putting it together. The girls were great help! We even had a picnic out on the lawn. The girls were so excited you would have thought it was Christmas. Which by the way was the original plan for the tramp, but I felt it too mean to give the girls something that they couldn't use for Christmas. The pictures don't show the eye sore of a net that we also got for a super good deal. This net surrounds the whole tramp and has bright green posts. At least it gives me the security that my kids are safer. Which in all reality probably is a false sense of security. We have had a few chances to enjoy it when the weather permits. The girls just can't wait for it to always be warm so they can jump everyday. Hopefully this will give me a little more free time.

That's great! My parents would never let us have a trampoline. Tell Kaitlyn I'm jealous.

Okay first I LOVE you new layout! I don't have the patience to figure out how to make mine better. The tramp looks like a blast. We had one growing up and loved it....... I have to admit I don't miss Logan during the spring season!

So so fun! Halle adores the tramp, although I can't say the same. Something about having baby's makes jumping a not so pleasant experience....
