Have you spent much time jumping on a trampoline lately? I highly recommend it! It is hilariously, seriously SO much fun (and great exercise)! As kids, we had one in our yard in Jupiter, Florida. I remember so many hysterical times with my sister and my friends on that thing! We used to catapult each other - a heavier person jumps at the same time as a lighter person and makes the light one go FLYING. It's a wonder we didn't break our necks.... One time, I catapulted my sister (accidentally, of course ;-)....) OFF the trampoline into the nearby starfruit tree! She landed like a crab sprawled IN the tree and miraculously did NOT get hurt. We have never laughed harder. I have no idea how my mom didn't have a heart attack holding her breath waiting for one of us to hurt ourselves on that thing!
These days, we have a big safety net surrounding the one for our kids. WAAAAY safer. Phew. But it still SO MUCH FUN! The kids and I chase each other 'round and 'round and jump until one of us collapses from dizziness or exhaustion. It is a blast. I love to watch their little smiling faces or hear their hearty laughs on that thing. Just great fun. Here's a picture of one of my monkeys jumping this evening right before Daddy called us up for our bq dinner. :) 
OMG! I loved jumping on the trampoline when we were little. Who am I kidding? I love doing it now to...well, not really right now since there is another person inside of me. That may not be too good for him. ;) I was flung off our trampoline so many times - no way for us to count how many. I got the "You're ok, you're ok, you're ok" mantra from you so many times. The starfruit tree was a regular occurrence. How did we not kill ourselves!? Seriously! W looks so cute in this pic! Ugh - love him!!!
