Trampoline - Where my youngest and I play our newest backyard game called, ummm...well, we really haven't named it yet. But here is how you play. Climb onto a trampoline (in our case, it's our neighbors') and warm up by slowly running around the perimeter of the bouncy part. Then, (oh...make sure to throw a ball onto the trampoline before climbing up) lie on your back on opposite sides with your feet pointing toward the center. Bend your knees so that your feet are flat on the surface. The youngest goes first, as always. Using only your feet play "volleyball" as best you can. That's it. Very fun. Very funny. Very prone to starting loud laughter and occasional snorts.
Trampoline - Another excuse insurance companies in Florida now use to cancel your homeowners insurance policy it seems. Guess my "neighbors" need to make sure their trampoline isn't visible from the street.
Trampoline - My 6 year old's code word. We use it sparingly but with great effect. We use it whenever little chatterbox begins divulging deep dark family secrets, concocting her own deep dark family secrets out of boredom or when she begins to repeat lines from a movie we are embarrassed to let be known that she has seen somehow. "Trampoline" said with a tone of urgency and raised eyebrows has been found to stop her motormouth mid-word and with wide eyes, a slight gasp and a tiny smile of pleasure she replies, "Oh, yeah...trampoline."

Sounds like a great moment to remember! :)
Great pic -- I can't believe how big she is getting!
I am very happy to hear that your kids are enjoying "the neighbor's" trampoline. Hehehe!
Ninj - They LOVE the trampoline! None of our trampoline fun would be possible now if not for your assembly expertise (as in we sure weren't getting that bouncy part stretched out with our lame attempts!) Thank You a Million Times Over!!! :-)
