I promised the kids at the beginning of the summer, that if they saved the money, sure, they could have a trampoline. It sounded like pipe dream. Four kids under the age of ten saving up nearly three hundred dollars?! Well, it's funny what kids will do when motivated. They walked dogs, cleaned sticks up after storms, past out flyers, etc. Basically, any chore a neighbor or mom would offer, they took.
We made a deal on vacation that what we saved out of the budget, we automatically go straight to the trampoline. We discussed picnics versus fast food, and amazingly (wink, wink), we had just enough money saved for a trampoline. We've been jumping it up for a week. Even Brant and I have tested out the bounce. Love the sweaty, sleepy kids this gem creates.
