This shot is of my wife and I and all but Savanna as far as grandkids. The trampoline was no place for a baby at this time so Savanna stayed inside with her mother. My wife even got into jumping on the trampoline after a lot of persuasion. When was the last time you jumped on a trampoline?

Great pic! How fun to be with the whole family for the holiday. I enjoy jumping on trampolines. The last time was rather recently for me. It was not one with the safety net (as I see yours has) and I spent most of my time trying to keep my son from getting too crazy. It was fun though.

Well the net is needed for the little ones though.
I had a blast and got so worn down.
My asthyma kicked up a few times but I took breaks when needed.

The nets are a great thing for home trampolines. The one I used recently was at a gymnastics gym, built into a padded floor... like at the Olympics. Very fun.

I have one in my backyard exactly like that one. I refuse to get on that thing. I have never even attempted to get on that thing.
I have a cousin that got on one of those things and when she did she did a complete split both legs went out from under her and she end up in the emergency room. After that I said no way not me..

I've had my share of hospital visits as well in my younger days.

The last time I was on a trampoline, I was seven years old. I had gone to my school friend Kelly's house, and she had a trampoline. I remember it well because this girl was spoiled! I mean she had just about everything a child could want. And I loved the trampoline, so I remember it well.

It's a good workout for the heart I'd say.
I was so tired but kept on playing with the grandkids.

I have to admit some years back my youngest son got a trampoline. The first day they talked me into getting on it promising I could be alone on it. That lasted about 2 minutes and I had 2 adult men (oldest and a friend of his who assembled the tramp) and youngest and one of his friends all 4 jumped on at the same time. I was in the middle and when they all hit full force I went about 20 feet in the air. Never got on that thing again when anyone else was in the yard.

I remember jumping on a trampoline about 20 years ago, when we bought one for our children! I'm sure it was a pretty funny sight. I noticed the new trampolines these days (including the one my granddaughters have) now have a net all around them. Much safer, I suppose.

Hi Grandpa BOB,
I have never jumped into a trampoline ever in my life so there is no last time for me but one thing is for sure that it’s a nice picture and its always great to be a part of a big family. I have a small family and so there are not many people into the family. A small family with limited number of members.

hi grandpa BOB...we use to have a trampoline. we've had strangers come by asking to jump on it.hehe. i've never had the nerve myself. i'm too accident prone. and i think the reason we had to get rid of it was because of insurance purposes. but i use to enjoy watching the kids (that are far more athletic than i ever was) jump on the big flat bouncy tarp.

in our place, we don't usually have trampoline. But my son, whenever he sees one in the tv, would tell me that he wants to jump and have fun in a trampoline... :)

I got rid of my trampoline when my arthritis got bad in my knees and I could not keep the neighbor kids out of my yard. That has been about six years, I think. I used to enjoy it, though.

We were just talking about trampolines at work yesterday - they are a great form of exercise! I used to have a trampoline and loved going out there with the kids (and adults)! When I moved into my other house in 1998 my kids put the trampoline up against the deck so they could jump off the deck onto it. When they moved it, they didn't secure the legs properly and they ended up busting it. So the last time I was on one was probably in 1998 or 1999. I've always wanted to get another one!
