Lady Kate and the Tramp

We finally got a new trampoline. The other was falling apart--springs had been flying off every now and then until finally it wasn't very fun anymore. One day this spring, Kate came in from outside, got an empty pickle jar, and put it on the counter, announcing that this was for the "Tramp Fund". She put in some coins and began our family fundraiser. With recycled aluminum cans and everyone's loose change, we raised almost $,150.00, which went towards the new tramp. It's much bigger than the other one and very bouncy.


When the cousins came from New York, they all had a fun sleepover on the tramp last week.

Kate is one awesome chick! Way to pull the family together and make things happen. That's very funny. That really is a seriously supersized trampoline. Looks like it could have held a few more cousins.
