Can you hang?

You've gotta love good ole' trampoline field hockey stick hanging fun. Well, we love it anyway. Weston hung one of my old sticks by a chain from a tree next to the trampoline when we first moved here 2 years ago and it still is entertaining us. It is adjustable (just climb up the branch and lower or raise the chain) so it can be challenging for the pros or a good height for us amatuers.



Pictures above: Weston hanging from the highest the stick can go-he pulls himself up as high as he can, lets go of the stick, does a backdrop, and grabs the stick again (his record is 3 backdrops in a row); Ezra hanging..he can hang for like 5 seconds, maybe; Spencer climbing up Ammon, who is hanging, to hang on the stick; Spencer hanging.

Pictures below: Ammon doing a backdrop-he grabbed the stick again off of the backdrop; Me doing an upside-down pike/flip-through-your-arms (whatever); In this last picture I look really high-that's only a medium height setting-Weston grabs it way higher.

Oh the joys of trampolines! That is quite the trick to have Spencer climb Ammon to get to the stick!

Lots of fun. How is Ammon at frisbee golf to the trampoline from various spots in the yard?

I think I left a comment awhile back about how "cute" your Andelin family Olympics were, but now I'm just intimidated!...you guys seriously make trampoline jumping look like a competitive sport.

Those pics bring back memories of 2 years ago when we had the first reunion at the ranch. That was my first time up there, and I remember the trampoline was a highlight, for the kids and adults!I don't think i was able to jump high enough to grab the stick though...maybe it was on the "weston" setting. it seemed really high. maybe i am just a wimpy jumper.
