After we moved down here and got settled, we decided one Saturday to put the trampoline up. As Phil started digging everything out of boxes and corners, we realized we did not have the very important pieces that hook onto the base of the trampoline. This was sad, because Phil knew how he had packed everything and could not figure out where they went. After tearing the garage completely apart and putting it back together - in a very organized fashion, we figured they had been left in our trailer in Oregon. So, on our next trip, we looked - not there. So, we thought they were scattered somewhere in mom and dad's garage - could not find them. Ugghhh!!!! We were so frustrated. The thought of having to buy new pieces was incredibly irritating and we weren't even sure we could get them. Then, a few months ago, I was looking for the perfect box to put old paperwork in. As I rummaged through the garage, I found a box on the shelf that would be perfect. I grabbed it and opened it and guess what??!!! It was the pieces. I did a loud yell and the kids came running downstairs to find me in the garage doing a little happy dance. At that time, the pool was up and there isn't enough room for both in our backyard.
So, the pool came down a week ago and today we have the long awaited for trampoline.....
The great thing is....our kids are getting older, so this Labor Day was spent watching our kids do most of the labor....
While Daddy did a lot of managing....
And as we all know, when we have to wait a little longer than usual for something it sure does make us love and appreciate it more!!! Enjoy kids!!
