I realize that the official first day of spring is still a few days away but the weather has been so nice lately that we decided to have our first day of spring last Friday. I guess I should say that it has been nice compared to the last couple months. The high temperature was in the 40's, and as of yesterday all the snow has melted from our yard. I was off work Friday and the kids were all playing outside because it was a sunny day so we decided to put the mat back on the trampoline. Of course, this meant attaching the 80 some-odd springs from the mat to the frame, while staying clear of the protective cage and the spring-guard pad which I hadn't bothered to take off last fall. (These things sure are safe nowadays.) Matthew was a good helper distributing the springs around the base, and when we finally got
the job done the kids had fun bouncing around for at least 10 minutes. Matthew seemed to be a lot more fearless than he was last year, and Katie even had fun sitting and watching. She only likes to jump when no one else is.

We were all ready to wear shorts outside when it got to 40. Too bad it's cold again. We're wondering if all of our snow will ever melt. We want to come visit and jump on the trampoline.
If we had those safety features on our trampoline, we wouldn't have the fun of watching you show off with flips onto the ground (accidentally).
