Having a trampoline means...

never having to say you're sorry.

I don't know if that's true or not, it just flowed well. Having a trampoline DOES mean, however, icing ankles regularly. We have the kind with a net around the perimeter but somehow Sam especially seems to twist his ankles with some frequency. Of course, in this instance they were all breaking the two-at-a-time injury rule times two. That could have something to do with it.

Maybe having a trampoline means being able to say I told you so?

Yeah, four or five kids plus a trampoline will always be a recipe for disaster (or as least a twisted ankle).

Love the patio furniture, BTW!
