New Toy!

We had been talking about getting the kids a trampoline for quite some time...well, Aaron finally broke down and bought one after church on Sunday. Grace had to pitch in all her birthday money and Susie will give hers to the "trampoline fund" in September when it is time for her birthday as well. I know, we are mean, but if they really want it, that is what it takes...those things don't pay for themselves, you know! Aaron started by putting it together by himself and soon called for help after I took the first picture above.
It took us about 1 hour and 45 minutes to put it together. It was fun and we were so excited when it all finally got finished.
Aaron did get a little excited when putting the protection around one of the poles....We fixed it and you can't even tell which pole he messed up...it was pretty funny.
The finished product! We are on our way outside to jump right now while Parker is napping!!Posted by Picasa

Where is the video of Aaron? Parker's was really cute, but where is Aaron's with that same "don't you think I'm THE STUFF for being able to impress you with this" look on his face?

I'm SO glad to hear that other parents make their kids pay for their toys too!

Looks like fun!!! (and great exercise to wear them out!)
