Oh and if there are no water restrictions (or if you have gray water) you can set a sprinkler underneath it... And if you're really brave (or really silly) you can put those mini exercise trampolines...

That story makes me shudder, Soph!!! Thinking of some of the stunts I got up to on the trampoline it's almost hard to believe I'm still standing. I thought for sure I'd have broken something when I...

My brother jumped off the garage roof onto the tramp too and somersaulted right off onto the lawn. Hilarious! I go through phases of wanting a trampoline too Lin. We had so much fun with ours growing...

As you know, DS is an only child and he loved his trampoline. He played on it and played on it for years. He'd have friends over and they'd bounce on it, he'd go out there alone and bounce on it, he'd...

We have had ours for about 18 months. I don't think there has been a day when the trampoline has been unused by dd, even if it's only been a few minutes after kindy. She loves it and of course anyone...

I got it! Now I have to find a strong man to get it out of my car as it weighs 45kgs! Coincidently the neighbours across the road went to collect their trampoline last night too. They have 2 and a 5yo...
