People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.

Jumping Jack Flash!

Oh my goodness! What do you get when you combine a handful of teenagers, throw in a few kids, balls, a few crazy adults and about a billion tramps! Only about the funnest thing I have done in a long time.

I truly am tempted not to mention where we went for fear of too many more people knowing about this obscure little place. There are about 50 trampolines and way too many people running, jumping, throwing things and in general laughing - I can't believe a bunch of way to old and a few not too old kids could have so much fun.

We jumped, ran, played tag (using a soft football), laughed, jumped and ran some more. I think when we are in an environment like this - our brains turn off. My son (who I might add -is only 6 inches taller than I am) actually tackled me and took me down - I can't remember the last time I laughed harder. I guess it is easy to be brave and take on your mom when you are surrounded by a bunch of crazy's all jumping and laughing and just having good clean ....fun!!! We had so much fun chasing each other around - trying to figure who was it - never quite sure if that ball hit you and made you it! At least one of us enjoyed it so much - they split their pants wide open (I will be honest and confess - it wasn't me!) We were just glad for good friends who didn't laugh or make fun they just lent a jacket so we could hide the evidence!

I am so blessed with good friends and AWESOME kids. I truly enjoy every moment I am blessed to spend with them. We may not have it all together - - but together we have it all!




P.S. - Before starting to jump - make sure you visit the little girls or boys room! Wetting your pants can put a damper on your outing! :)
