How do you prepare for an afternoon of trampoline jumping?
My best advice would be: “With some light stretching.”
My worst advice would be: “With a big lunch!”
Oh well, I never said I was Dr.Phil (or someone who gives advice about trampolines). Ben and I went to Publix before heading to his sister and brother-in-law’s.
Then it was time to JUMP!
First, our nephews, Owen and Atticus, got a chance.
Next, I gave it a whirl.
Hi-ya! A hurdler 
Ben can do flips, but they make me nervous.
Perfectly upside down!
I had some grapes mid-afternoon for a snack.
It is Atticus’ 3rd birthday and we celebrated with his favorite food – Pizza. 
Yours and mine both kid. Yours and mine both…
I had 2 BIG mushroom and peppers slices. I love pizza. So glad I don’t fight it anymore.
A little dessert…
Then, back at home base – a little more dessert That health bar ice cream is amazing.
Now Ben and I are cuddling up watching old episodes of Arrested Development. We’ve been having a blast and a ton of relaxation in FL so far. But, tomorrow I’ll try to be slightly productive and catch up on emails and things.
Good night
Have you tried the egg nog flavored Ghirardelli squares? They taste *exactly* like egg nog. It’s kind of spooky.
FUN!
A friend of mine in Seattle went to a few sessions of some sort of “trampoline workout” class. It was a workout on the trampoline! She said it was fun.
My brother got a huge trampoline when we were kids. I loved doing flips on that thing! That was also before most people started putting nets on them.
I love that his name is Atticus!!! What cool parents to name their child Atticus. 😉
That’s so funny, I always wanted to name my kid Atticus! To Kill a Mockingbird is SUCH a great book, he was certainly named after an admirable character!
Not going to lie… I am scared of trampolines! All I can see when I’m on one (which hasn’t been for a while) is myself flying off and breaking a limb.
I love pizza, too.
I haven’t had it in too long. I want some now 🙂
And that trampoline? Freakin’ awesome!
Thanks to my childhood skill of breaking arms (each one twice!), I am scared of jumping on trampolines because I’m afraid I’ll fall!
I’ve also decided it is unfair that you live in sunny Cali and get to visit the in-laws in sunny Florida. I want. I’m moving to Irvine and working at one of their many 24 HR Fitness clubs. I am.
Come visit me already.
Arrested Development, trampolines, pizza and ice cream. Seriously, that sounds like the best day ever! You are adorable!
No net on the trampoline!? Yikes. That would make me really nervous; especially with Ben doing flips. I guess I’m a nervous nelly.
I’m glad you’re enjoying your time in Florida!
Yeah, Ben’s flips make me super high strung 🙁
But, he’s bigger than me so I can’t stop him.
In the summer time I like to put a sprinkler under the trampoline. Water+Slipping+Jumping= AWESOME!
Arrested Development is one of my favorite shows of all time. I never fail to find something entirely new to laugh at each time I re-watch an episode!
What a fun day! I love pizza, too. I can’t imagine life without it now…but there was definitely a time when I didn’t eat it. Enjoy your downtime. 🙂
i swear you said you were an expert trampoline advice giver sometime last march…
You busted me!
I used to have a huge trampoline when I was a kid and it was SO much fun. I haven’t been on one in years though! Sad story.
