We bought the kids a new toy. That’s not like us. We’re a little anti-toy. Ben doesn’t like the clutter or the expense. I’m anti-toy because I think it stifles creativity and imagination. And I’m anti-too-many-toys because I think it causes ADHD and greedy children. But, I forget about my principles when I’m exhausted and sick and the house is messy and the kids are restless.
So, I found this on Craigslist last week and threw my anti-toy mantra out the window.
I like this toy for three reasons:
1) No batteries
2) Great exercise = good naps 🙂
3) Has steps which creates a nice ramp up to the trampoline. Perfect!
So, I drove up to Spring Hill on Saturday and bought it myself. Then I set it up yesterday myself. Ben was impressed, weren’t you dear? Little does he know that I had six screws left over and I can’t figure out where they belong. It hasn’t fallen apart yet, though.
The kids love it! I hope we’ll have many many hours of fun on it.
Joe - I got an error on your video.
The toy looks way cool. I think Joseph will love it if we ever get up there to visit.
Johnson Family - Derek and Tyler loved watching your kids on their new toy. They are now asking for one just like it 🙂 It looks like a lot of fun!
