my life is average

 finally setting the tramp up// little sisters pouncing on me// that backyard view// dad's and daughters chatting

sweet notes// black feet// this kids face when his best friends leave// my favorite blessing boy.

average isn't so bad is it?

One of my favorite memories growing up was the day that we would get the okay from Dad to set the tramp up. The minute all the springs were in place we would race to jump on and be the first one to do a certain trick that year.  "i'm the first one to do a              " (insert really neat trick) Donkey hotes, baseball slides, banana peel....just a few of my fav's. the amount of friendships kindled on that trampoline is probably near the hundreds.  whether it was playing F-L-Y when we were young with the neighbors, laying out on it attempting to get tan, putting a sprinkler under it, or late night chats with friends in high school.  Now the cycle is starting over and new youngin's get to experience the friendship power of a trampoline. It's a beautiful thing, really.  Happy Spring!
