Well, last Sunday, as we're driving to my sister-in-law's house to grill out and let the kids play, I spot a trampoline sitting near the road in a yard a few houses down from my sister-in-law's with a For Sale sign on it. It's in pretty good shape, with one of those safely enclosure nets: exactly what I was looking for to get Allie! But the best part, it was a STEAL of a deal. I immediately called the number, and the following day we were the owners of a new-to-us trampoline. It wasn't until yesterday that we were actually able to go get the thing (a trampoline is a pretty big deal to move!) but we did, and got it set up in our backyard. I'm going to have to purchase new pads to go over the springs soon since the old ones are getting pretty worn, but otherwise, it's perfect for us. And yes, while it does take up most of our tiny yard, I couldn't think of anything better to do with the space once I saw how excited my girl was the have a trampoline at her own house.
A huge thank you to Papaw and Nana for all their help yesterday in procuring the trampoline!
