re: My kids want a trampoline for Christmas

My kids had been asking for one for like a year and a half, and I was a hard no, mainly because I didn't want to constantly have to move it around for mowing and keeping the grass alive.

I also knew that with most of them, you end up having to replace the net, or springs fairly regularly, and I knew I wouldn't want to waste the money to fix something I never wanted in the first place.

wife was pushing just as hard as the kids to just get one..

I eventually caved, but went all in, and bought the biggest SpringFree model with interactive sensors, bluetooth tablet/game interface, with a 10 year warranty on the whole thing just so I wouldn't have to think about it.

So I went from being totally against having one, to buying the most expensive trampoline known to man.

The kids do love it though.
