Thank you George Nissen

According to a quick Google search, Nissen invented the trampoline as we know it in 1935. Is it strange that it's more weird for me to imagine a world without trampolines then it is to imagine a world without cars?



Since moving to Grandma's house, Jane and Emiline have had the joy of jumping on the same trampoline that I did as a kid. They adore it. Jane was still a bit nervous when we first got here and she often wanted someone out there holding her hand and she'd squawk if someone too big started jumping with her (meaning anyone older than 2). But now she's a pro. I haven't gone out there much with her, I've let it be Grandpa's thing he does with her,



but I went out the other day and she was wanted to play Crack the Egg and Bacon! I loved those games and now so does she and I didn't even teach them to her.

She also enjoys just crawling around and pretending to be a kitty or dog. Apparently it's cooler on a trampoline.

Emiline is really loving it now, too.

She was a bit freaked out initially since fairly often she walks like a drunken sailor on solid ground. But it's been a source of shrieking delight recently.

Hoorah! For Trampolines!!

I love trampolines too, they are so much fun! Isn't it cool when you realize your little one has learned something (good) that you didn't teach her? :) Oh and FYI, I think your yahoo mail account has been hacked, I've been getting spam messages for the last few days.
