When you think of Snow.......

Do you think of Trampolines?

So at tumbling class my kiddo's were asked by their teacher what their favorite thing to do in the snow was. One kid said his was to throw snowballs at people, another kid said sledding, another kid said she liked to build a snow person, SuperStar said she liked all those things and she liked to jump on the trampoline. To which everyone kinda stopped and looked at her. She is serious though. Spidey was right behind her telling the teacher how much he didn't like snowball fights, but that making snowangels on the trampoline was fun. The kids came straight home after that first snow and said that as soon as they were done with homework they were going to jump on the trampoline. And they did.

The teacher also had done some cold weather jumping, but she said hers ended when the trampoline ripped in two because of it being too cold for the mat and the fabric ripped. She wasn't jumping high though, just standing, and she was perfectly fine.
However, that is what I feared - that the cold weather is not good for the trampoline and it might be ruined.

Now no one jumps on the trampoline in the cold. Kids were disappointed, but now they are seem perfectly happy playing in the ditch in front of the house. Much better. Oh, and in these pictures - yeah, Spidey is totally without shoes. Goofer.
