Trampoline

May 5, 2007

Trampoline in backyard</SPAN>Our ubersafe trampoline was delivered yesterday. Damien set it up last night and the kids spent a large portion of today jumping on it. I've been on it a couple times and I don't remember it being such a work out when I was younger. I was out of breath and felt my heart pumping harder than it has for months (I am not a runner like my parents). But, it was so much fun! It's awesome because it's a form of play with my kids that I like to do. I do many things with my kids - play hide & seek, legos, card games, arts & crafts, kissing monster etc... but nothing that's quite as much exercise as trampoline jumping. I can see this will be a great activity for a multi-tasker as myself.

I've had a funny feeling today, in getting this trampoline. I feel very "parental". My parents bought our family a trampoline when I was a child and I feel very blessed that we also can provide this for our children. When I watch them laughing, jumping and totally enjoying childhood I get a sense of what my parents must of felt like as they watched my brother & I bloom in the secure and loving home they provided.

Strange but true, I usually feel like a 19 year old who happens to have an 11 year marriage, mortgage, and 3 kids. But today as I watched my kids I felt like a parent, undeniably more responsible and rooted than I was as a teen. I realized, perhaps a little late, that I really am, gulp, a "grown up".

Different people need to write numbers of essays to get the key issue of the essay buying papers. But when people are not able to write, this would be much better to buy custom paper writing service. In such way it would be possible to save reputation.

Trampoline is so much fun for kids or family. You will feel rejuvenated when jumping it.
