Happy Father's Day!

I know Father's Day was last week, but I had to wait to post what we got Chris since it didn't come till after Father's Day.
We got him a trampoline! OK, so it is more for the kids, but Chris has been wanting to get one for a long time so I figured now was just as good as any.
He knew what  we were getting him, since I didn't want to buy one without his input on which one to buy. I didn't want to get it and have him not happy with what I bought.
Anyway, the kids were way excited when it arrived on our front porch. Chris spent several hours putting it together that night and the next day they enjoyed jumping on it.
Sophia is a bit nervous about jumping on it, especially when Aaron gets too close to her. She screams at him A LOT while they are on the trampoline, but I just ignore it because we are outside and I can. :)

Here are some pictures of the kids jumping on the trampoline:


Chris had to show the kids what tricks he can do on the trampoline:



Then Aaron had to show off his tricks:

All he could do was a somersault. He called it his secret weapon when Chris and him were playing tag. He would so a somersault to try and tag Chris.
So far it has been fun having the trampoline. I can put the kids in there and go do my work that I want to do out in the yard!
Now all we need to get is a nice swing set for them. But I think that will be awhile. If I can convince Chris that we need one. :)
