the other years the kids raw dogged it

Our house was the house where neighborhood boys came to play

Zero broken bones: zero injuries

Only one of our four boys ever broke a bone, 2 times, but non -tramp related

No. But my kid broke 2 toes on her cousins’*

One showed up in our yard one day. I was a bit pissed, but the kids loved it.
Not more than a month later, we had our first broken arm.

Several sprains and lacerations later, I dismantled it.

sure you anchor it. Once our kids stopped using it, we sold it to the neighbor. A week later, high winds lifted it high into a tree, where it sat mangled for months.

On a side note: I started watching "The Rehearsal" on HBO. Has anyone ever told you that you look sorta like a less-scrawny Nathan Fielder?

I've done neither*

while we were in florida. i had some stakes in the ground but they were pretty dainty and not enough for the strength of the winds that came through. bummed because i just bought a new bounce pad for it and we didn't get to use it long.

on your side note, i've never gotten that, or even heard of that person. i have been told i look like chris watts (not someone you want to be associated with)
