Goodbye to an Old Friend

We got this great trampoline for Christmas when we lived in our first house (on Douglas).  Emily, Taylor, Alex and I are trying it out.  I am 7 months preggers with Danny

I know it's pretty dumb to write about an old trampoline - but you've got to understand that this trampoline is older than Danny . . . and he's 11 1/2!  The other day one of Taylor's friends was jumping and it just ripped.  We are all a little sad because it has been a loyal friend to our family.  We got it 12 years ago at Christmas and I was pregnant with Danny.  We were living in our first house then.  It went on 2 more moves with us.  The kids had so dang much fun on that thing.  I loved the way it made their hair poke up from all the static electricity.  I loved how they would all go out and play "crack the egg".  And I loved how they would play on it in the rain.  It will be missed.
