What do you think it is??
It's pretty fun and took a lot of (re)construction.
Good guess! It IS a half pipe!
Just kidding.
If you haven't figured it out by now I'm a little worried about you!
We went and picked it up from a toothless guy out in the boonies in the morning. By the time we got it all put together it was late afternoon. Max was all cranky from staying up late the night before for the fireworks, and it was driving him nuts that the trampoline was there and he couldn't use it.
Sultan just lay in his special hole in the corner of the yard and wondered what all the big deal was about. He's not that impressed.
Then once we had it all up--including the "enclosure" of course--it was time for some fun.
And we had to have the fun fast, because though there was sun on saturday morning, the storm clouds started moving in, and we knew rain was sure to come!
Max was kind of like Mr. jelly legs when he first got on there, flopping all over.
Especially if Kris was up there jumping. It barely took a step for Kris to knock him over.
It doesn't take too long for these little guys to learn though, and by the time we had to get off he was doing really well.
Anybody ever played crack the egg? It's that game where one of you sits in the middle of the tramp and holds onto their feet and the other person tries to bounce them around until they have to let go of their feet.
Much more fun though--crack the mama fish.
It was hilarious because he could hardly get her to bounce--not for lack of trying. Or for lack of serious face making.
And he certainly couldn't get me to bounce very high. But it was fun all around anyway.
The biggest triumph is that he taught himself over the weekend to bounce to his bottom and back up to his feet. He tried a zillion times on saturday and could never figure it out.
It's definitely good exercise. I was sore all weekend!

Great job finding this! You forgot to mention how good I was at "cracking" you. If only we could have some decent weather so we could enjoy it. Fun pictures of Max jumping for sure.
AH- I love it! Max is going to have a blast!
We should have an adults only "crack the egg" game, it could get crazy! I loved Grant on there today, he loved it too and Max's seat drop was AWESOME! Good find for sure!
looks like fun!
Dad
awesome. i'm totally jealous of your half-pipe
You're gonna love it!!!
Mine is the best anniversary present I've ever gotten!!!
Holy Cats!! Are you breaking a family rule or what???? Okay - springs covered and padded? yes. Okay - enclosure present and active? Yes. So - maybe he won't break his neck that easily. But NO DOUBLE BOUNCING.
My hands are sweating. Why can't you people just sit still?
Your mom cracks me up.
I love CraigsList. I just got us a basketball hoop and it has brought a ton of entertainment. Your pictures are great! It looks like so much fun.
I am excited for you. Our kids loved the trap and spent many happy hours on it. Max looks so happy. That smile on his face says it all. It does look like a nice safe one too so that is even better. Ours never had any of those safety features and with the exception of Kelly getting stitches in his chin from hitting his chin on his own knee and Kenny getting a broken elbow which was his Dad's fault we didn't have any problems. Enjoy.
Yes Grandma fish, they bought a tramp and I want one too and so does all of the cousin fish but uncle fish (daddy fish in this household) won't let us get one......he doesn't want any of his minnows to hurt their fins.......so sad......
So fun, Ginna!!! I'm wish you on wishing the rain would go away though, for sure! Maybe summer will really start on the 21st, lol.
