Go ahead, judge away. I put up a trampoline in my backyard this week and it has been the best decision I ever made!  From the minute the trampoline was ready, my kids have jumped no less than 3 hours each day.  Can you say exercise?

I even joked on Facebook about how beneficial trampolines can be: Kids find it difficult to WHINE while jumping!

If this isn't reason enough to install a trampoline right now, then how about this one: My kids asked ME to take a break from jumping to rest inside. I know, I know, I wouldn't believe it without seeing this phenomenon with my own eyes either, but it's true!

Still need another reason?  I've got it right here: While supervising kids on the trampoline, Mom gets to be on Facebook or Twitter and/or read whichever book she wants to...without interruption!

Thank you, Mr. Trampoline Inventor-Man.  My life is now complete.
