Before moving to New Mexico, our neighbor, who had always let our kids use his Trampoline, offered to give us his trampoline. But we had no more room in the moving van or trailer.The kids were sad to see that all of our neighbor's kids have trampolines and were glad to show them off, without inviting the boys over to play on them.
So, I kept my eyes open for any opportunity and finally on my Freecycle group, someone posted one. We replied and they chose us and we rushed over and took it apart...and then rebuilt it on our back yard. The kids spent a little bit of each day jumping and jumping. They are so happy to have the trampoline. I know it sounds trivial, but after what our family has been through, and all that our children, especially, have had to give up since the accident on March 14, 2005, this trampoline has brought them such joy and appreciation. It made me feel SO good to give this to them.
