Marissa received a trampoline for her birthday a couple weeks ago. Don't worry, it wasn't a surprise to the Mr and I. My parents had asked about it months before and after we did some thinking we decided to give the green light. It may just be one of the best decisions we have ever made. In just over two weeks the girls have spent hours on it. Sitting, prancing, laying, somersaulting, rolling, JUMPING and having so much fun. I have laughed so hard at them playing, playing with them and watching them play with Russ. It has been AWESOME.
A few random thoughts on trampolines
1) Best place to sunbathe.... EVER
2) How did we not break every bone twice BEFORE a genius became a millionaire with the cage invention.
3) Why did I never think of putting a sprinkler underneath one as young kid.
Last night they were playing, while Russ and I were working and doing some watering in the yard. They kept BEGGING me to spray them but I was pretty focused on finishing up the watering and didn't. When I was done Russ and I did some plotting on a way to surprise them with the hose and these pictures are the result.
They were SOAKED!
This is how summer memories are made!
I think this is the first week that it really feels like we are on summer vacation even though we have been out of school for almost 2 weeks now. Partly because the weather is once again warm and sunny the other part is I have finally got everything from last year all wrapped up, put away and organized. I even started and completed next years lesson plans (patting myself on the back for that one)!
Yesterday we enjoyed a fun summer day, I can't wait for more days like this to follow.
First up was Pizza with Mimi and Papa!
After lunch we came home had our "quiet time" It is what used to be nap time. Sadly they don't ever sleep anymore so we have our own down time so we (I) get a chance to de-stress.
Next we headed outside for some sprinkler fun.
Yup, I can't wait for more summer days.
I could definitely get used to this!
