Trampoline Tricks

We have a small trampoline that we keep in the basement.  We've had it for years and I use it sometimes when I work out.  Every now and then when Kate and I do the laundry we take a couple of minutes to jump on the trampoline.  She always seems to enjoy it when we do.

Well, yesterday when we were doing laundry, Kate pointed into the room next to our laundry area where the trampoline is kept.  We walked in and she was very interested in jumping, so we brought the trampoline upstairs.  It's a cold, musty, unfinished basement, so if we were going to be trampolining, I figured it'd be much more comfortable if we did it upstairs!  So we brought the trampoline up and set it right in the kitchen!

And Kate absolutely loved it!  She was able to:

...sit on it...

...lay on it...

...swim on it...

...climb on it...

...throw blocks onto it...

...terrorize the dog next to it...

...and stand near it!

We even got to really jump on it!  (Please excuse the oblivious dog that incessantly laps water and then walks right in front of the camera and the shakiness.  It's not easy to film and be on the ready for a jumping toddler.)  Bringing the trampoline upstairs was a huge hit!
