the six-pack is back — bouncing grandies.

A trampoline was a fixture in our back yard for years. I always found the sound of someone bouncing a comfort.

    Oh, I can’t swing or jump anymore either! I get motion sick just pushing my grands on a swing and watching them go back and forth, lol! But their giggles are worth the pain! And at least the photos I take preserve the smiles in still frame for me to gaze back on later 😉 Love the trampoline photo!
