Trampoline time

 My mother in law got us a trampoline for Xmas. It's fun for the kids and tires them out. it also encourages them to be outside more which is good. 

I remember wanting one as a kid, that was back in the day before they had covers for the springs. Anyone old enough remembers what is was like to try and hop off while others were jumping only to have your legs pinched to death as you exited the trampoline. 

I understand why they have netting now, but if you're my age you also remember the "awesome" landings you had jumping off into the grass (or better yet, a pile of leaves in the fall)

Even as I was older, we used this for our backyard wrestling matches and I dreamed of jumping off my roof onto a trampoline to see how high I could get. 

Now someone would have to threaten to kill one of my kids before I attempted such a stunt.

The wrestling however....let's say I'm  just waiting for someone to throw down the challenge for my belt.
