Jumping fun

I have come to learn in my old age (take a second to roll your eyes at me) that many things have evolved since I was a kid. I barely ever played games on my dad's old Apple II; now my kids are constantly asking to play on my tablet. Anything from diapers to televisions have changed substantially, and most for the better. Today I learned to appreciate the advancements in trampolines. We had dinner at our friends' house, and their daughter Casey has gotten a trampoline since we were there last. When I used to jump on trampolines, I always remember having to wait my turn, be super careful not to fly off, and typically was heavily supervised. Today, the trampoline had a net surrounding it on all sides, as I think most do now. I had no problem sitting on the porch yards away watching, because they couldn't escape or fall off. Even Molly had a few turns on the trampoline by herself, something we NEVER could have done in years past. The girls had a blast and wore themselves out. I am very grateful for whoever invented the trampoline net, and the hours of joy and fun it has brought my children (not to mention the peace of mind it provides me).
