To have a trampoline or not to have a trampoline?

That is the question we've been asking ourselves for the past 12 years. We have always concluded that they were too dangerous and too much of a liability...
....then we had Julian. If you had a kid THAT hyper, you'd get one too. So we broke down and bought one this week. IT'S SO MUCH FUN!!!

And for those of you weird, trampoline-fearing freaks like the "old Jenni" who are biting your lip, yes, there is a net. It's up now. And anyway, what happened to the "good old days" when a kid could jump on a trampoline with no padding, broken springs, and from a rooftop and nobody cared when you got your foot stuck or did a flip and landed 5 feet down onto the grass? Ahhh....memories.
