my kids just love to jump around on trampolines and they are sort of addicted to it.,.`

I was a missionary in Romania for a year a few years back, before marrying and becoming a mommy. One of the things I did there was work at a baby orphanage for babies who had been abandoned at the hospital. They had a massive trampoline out in the back garden and it was such fun to take the babies out (all between 1-4 years old) and let them run around and bounce on it. Usually one of us would get on it with them and two others would hang out by the edge to keep the more adventurous from falling off!! It was also great fun once the babies were settled in bed in the summer (when it was still light out) to go out there and bounce around insanely!! I am not ashamed to admit that (at 29 years old) I had as much fun as the teenage volunteers!!

I’m a late comment, but I just had to leave one. We had a trampoline when I was young and I LOVED it. Fast forward to the future and now I HATE them. My children had to have one, because of course mama had SO much fun on hers as kid. We even got one with the safety net. My son injured his shoulder one week and my daughter broke her arm the next. My friend broke her ankle on theirs. Turns out everyone we know has had some form of serious injury related to a trampoline. While sitting in the hospital with my kids, two weeks in a row, praying they didn’t call DHS, I learned that they are the #1 cause of injury in children. Mostly neck and spine injuries. They see them constantly in the hospital. Enought that their first question is “Trampoline?”. Needless to say we got rid of ours. Yes, they are fun, but the risk of injury, especially with no insurance, just isn’t worth it for us.

OH my! I so wish we had one! That looks like soooo much fun!

I’d love some opinions for a godly woman such as yourself on the series I’ve been doing on the spirit of meekness. Stop by if you get the chance. :) And have a Happy 4th of July!

Blessings,
Jennifer

After nearly bouncing off one as a child, I am scared to death of them and have thus far sworn I won’t get one since I’m a mean mama. But, we’ll see how that goes . . .

For some reason I can’t leave a comment on your above post but wanted to say THANK YOU for the link to my barrettes! How sweet of you to do that! :>)

lol I don’t think my pregnant belly would do so well on a trampoline. My girls enjoy one at the Grandparents cottage though. :)

You left out one trampoline tip that I learned from experience. Don’t wear a nursing bra while jumping! It will open, guaranteed!

Laura, your friend’s lose is your gain! For what it’s worth, jumping on the trampoline is great for the lymphatic system and shaking loose those toxins from the body. Drink water before and after :) GIGATTAATTGIG!

One of our favorite things is to put the hose on the trampoline! This year we discovered that if you put water balloons on the trampoline, they bounce too. It’s a lot of fun.

I didn’t grow up with a trampoline, but we bought one for the kids- I realized I’d really missed out as a child. You know, it’s the most comfortalbe thing to lay on and look at the stars at night :)
