Doug even excelled in the talent of it and took trampoline lessons and can still, to this day, do a lot of tricks.  He is doing a trick in one of the pictures I'm sending, where he's up in the air and Logan and Landry are watching him..........right after he did this, the boys and Doug were just messing around on it and, of all things.....heck-fire-darn, the mat tore and Doug fell off.....thank goodness,  not hurting himself bad...just scraped his arm on one of the springs.   And, thank goodness, he wasn't doing one of his high jumps.  This is about our third mat in all these years, but the structure of the tramp is very, very sturdy, as we bought it at "Nards", if any of ya'll remember his place......Nard Cazzell was his name.   The mat had just aged with the weather, etc. and we probably should have replaced it before this happened.

It was almost a funeral for us when Jim and I had to dismantle the
famous "Lill Trampoline", but we did it, as our kids are grown, along with our grandkids and we just thought
we would retire it.  Made everyone very sad, so "a fond good-bye to
one of the funniest things we have ever owned"

......guess we should have had a ceremony".

Love You and Thank You for putting this on our Lill's Stuff,       Boe
