Six years ago, when our oldest grandson, Aidan, was a toddler and Jaxon just an infant, their family got a trampoline. I remember the shocked look on Aidan's face when I got on the tramp with him and proceeded to do bum drops!!
He couldn't believe that I could actually do them!
I decided then and there that I was going to stay active,
to keep moving even when it hurt...
To keep walking and doing whatever it took to be able to enjoy my grandchildren,
and specifically I made myself a promise that I would keep jumping on trampolines
so that on my 60th birthday I would be able to do bum drops with my grands!
And guess what?
Last Friday I turned 60 and I fulfilled that promise that I had made to myself!
After naptime the three of us got onto the tramp and even Halle tried to do bum drops!
She could drop on her bum but not get up again...
...but at 4 Kai has mastered the skill.
We took turns cheering each other on...
and then Kai and I did them together while Halle watched!
Inspite of a bad knee, we jumped...
and we did bum drops...
and played what time is it Mr Wolf...
and had a grand time on the trampoline...
this 60 year old Nan and her grands!!!
And oh what fun it was!
Here's to another decade of Bum Drops!
