Building a trampoline....

On July 17th we bought a trampoline for the boys. We didn't think it would be such a challenging task to build it.....Heidi & I estimated we'd have it done within an hour. We started at 3pm.

Hmmmmm, 12 ft is quite large when it's a trampoline in your back yard!


Looks as though it's going to be a tight fit!


With the help of Howard we managed to get the springs connected.


Taking shape now.........


Albeit the wrong shape!


Just checking those joints!


Yep! All secure!


Can I bounce bounce please?


Kai got the wrong idea about the safety mesh


Kai finally gets his bounce at 10pm!


Kai & Phil


Howard, Greg & Kai test out the trampoline.
Zack is still recovering so he can't go on just yet.

Why on earth did we think that would take an hour?? Even the next morning when we were doing the safety netting I think I said that would take an hour.....and it took a little more than that! The thing I remember most about building the trampoline up was my wet bum from sitting on the ground for hours! haha
