Tramp Love

On Saturday we set up an early Christmas present for the girls - oh yes - a trampoline. It seems all summer as we have been trying to get them to play outside, that they just didn't know what to do with themselves. The tramp, we hope, will get them loving the backyard and having a great time.

Just as the tramp was set up and ready to go on Saturday, it started to rain. The girls enjoyed a little slip and slide for a few minutes, but then gave it up and came inside. Sunday was a beautiful day, but we have decided keeping the Sabbath day holy doesn't include jumping on the trampoline with all the neighbor kids wanting to join in. Monday the rain returned with a vengeance.

Emma was moaning in complaint that every day but Sunday will bring rain, so they will never get a chance to play. Fortunately for everyone we had a clear but cool afternoon after school today, so they got a good few jumps in. We hope winter will hold off for a couple months so they can have some great full fun outdoors before we get frozen over.
