Trampoline

About two months ago, my trampoline blew away in a tornado into my neighbor's back yard. Everything tore apart and you can see where it hit the trees when it flew over the fence. Luckily, I wasn't in Indianapolis. I was in Columbus with my grandma. The tornado was about 3 miles away from our house.

Sometime in July, my dad started working on putting the trampoline back together. But he was missing like 21 springs! He got most of it back together okay. Then it took him about 4 more weeks to finish the whole thing and he's off on Wednesdays!

So yesterday, he looked for more springs behind the fence and then finished it. We're still missing 7 springs. In the past 2 days, I've probably jumped on it about 4 times for 5 minutes each. The highest I've gone is about a foot. But when I'm with my mom on the trampoline, I probably jump about a foot and six inches.

On Friday, my friend is coming over for a sleep over and we're going to jump on the trampoline. And I can't wait!
