First Sign of Spring

The tradition of putting up the trampoline at Mima & Pops has defiinitely become a true sign that spring is on its way.  Pops likes all the kids to help put it up and then he got the first jump to make sure they put it up correctly. 

 And the kids jumping - getting their jumping legs ready for a long trampoline season. 
When I was in 6th grade my brothers were jumping out of the tree house onto the trampoline.  So, they convinced me to do it - so like a good sister I did and bounced right in the middle and then flung what seemed like 100 feet in the air and trying not to fall off the trampoline I caught myself and my shoulder didn't fair well.  It broke.  Ouch. 
Let's pray this trampoline season is an injury free one for these little kiddos!  And note to others- don't do what your brothers say you should.

Especially when your brothers are ALWAYS getting hurt. We still talk about how at least one of the Scoby boys was hurt every year! HA

I just remember going to your house when my mom needed more Mary Kay and we were always amazed to see what new thing your brothers would be doing on the trampoline and who would be the boy with the cast.
