About 2 years ago we had a visit from some awesome friends. They were moving from Florida to Idaho and stopped by our house on the way. We let the kids stay up late because who knew when we would get to see them again. It was about 10:00 at night and they were out jumping on the trampoline. In the dark. Smart, I know. All of the sudden Caden comes screaming into the house with blood pouring down his face. We all started running around in circles and hollering. "What happened?!" All he could get out was Parker and my first thought is, "I'm gonna kill that kid." We start heading out the door to the emergency room and Parker comes thru the door with blood pouring down his face! The whole place is in an uproar as we are trying to figure out
what in the world is going on!!We jump into the van, while I, in true Erma Bombeck style, have a dirty dish rag wrapped around each kids head.
We finally get out of them what happened. They were all in a big ball rolling around on the trampoline and Caden thought that it would be a great idea to tackle them. So he leaps as high and as hard as he can into the pile. Unbeknownst to him, Parker had the same great idea and leaped at the exact time into Caden's head.
I think that was a first for the doctor's and nurses at the ER. They even snickered a time or two. Parker required 8 stitches and Caden 12.
We don't have a trampoline anymore.
