Yeah, so... check this out. My parents' trampoline got blown onto the top of the house on Friday. Yup, a gust of wind picked the sucker up from the back yard and hurled it onto the roof. In-freakin-sane.... My mom and Ty had gone to the store, and when they came back the tramp wasn't in the back yard. It was totally gone, only one leg left standing. My mom thought "who would steal a trampoline and leave one leg?", and then remembered that one of the legs had been bent, and then it made sense that they'd leave that leg. ( Well... not really, because the thing wouldn't be able to stand w/o the 4th leg, regardless of whether it was bent or not. ) Anyway, she just chalked it up to "random people stealing random things" and took the groceries into the house and forgot about it. A couple hours later, the next-door neighbor called and asked my mom why the tramp was on the roof. Uh.... bizarro!
The truly freaky thing is that Friday was a NICE day - not a windy day. She said there were a couple gusts of wind, but not the typical all-day-long wind that's usually happening in Taylor-town this time of year. How insane is this?

That is awesome! I'm so jealous. I used to jump off my roof onto the trampoline. I never thought of jumping on the trampoline on the roof.
Matt,
You're cracking me up... Yeah, I can only imagine what kind of damage you could do to yourself jumping on the trampoline, on the roof. Oh my word...
That is hilarious. The part that cracks me up is that your mom shrugged about the tramp being stolen and just headed into the house. No wailing, no analysis, no being consumed with the annoyance of it...she seriously cracks me up. I love it.
Yeah, has your tramp been stolen in the past, you Mom seems very cavalear about the whole thing. Tramps are often realocated in the Prescott area(especially among the LDS population), so if it had been borrowed, I completely understand. And I can't believe how perfectly it landed on the roof.
That picture is great!
Holy Cow! That is totally insane! How amazing. What a great pic! Can I just tell you that I seriously love you?? Our church parking lot chat just reminded me of how much I think you're awesome and so wonderful! So glad we're friends!
Hehehe, I'm with Matt. Only you need one on the roof and on the ground. You could bounce back and forth. How fun would that be!
Truly, I don't know how I'm even friends with such dare-devil types. (Yeah, I'm talkin to you, Matt & Mich.)
Jen, I know... isn't she hysterical? The woman freaks out about... NOTHING. When she was telling me that she thought the trampoline had been stolen she said it in the most serene voice ever... like it's totally normal that someone would steal such a thing - and she honestly could not have cared less. (It takes me back to when I was in high school, actually and Jo hit my car with hers... denting it so badly on the driver's side rear door that it would no longer open. Was Judy mad? Uh... no. She laughed hysterically when we told her, HUGGED Jo, and then asked "why couldn't you have hit it harder?".) Oh man... that woman. How we're related, I don't really know.
Liz... I'm laughing out loud that you guys stole trampolines and then relocated them. Somehow, I'm not that suprised. I guess I always knew you had a touch of sneakiness.
Genevra - I KNOW! How crazy is that picture? The sucker landed flat on the roof, and then had one leg pop through a skylight. Truly, I think the skylight breakage is what kept it up there. So blinkin funny...
And Steph - thanks for Tuesday night in the parking lot. My favorite part of Enrichment is when it's over! :) You're amazing and I'm so glad we're friends. :)
Your mom's easygoingness (is that a real word, oh well) is one of the things I love about her. It's like the time I was at your parent's home and received word that Ken, Jesse and Gabe were stranded at Salt River without a tent, sleeping bags or FOOD. Your mom said, "It will make a great story later." And then she turns to your dad and says, "Like the time you and kids were camping and got chased by A BEAR." And then they both LAUGHED. I decided then and there that I needed to live in their home. Nothing bothers your mom.
Jen! YOU COMMENTED!!!! You made my day in a way you cannot even begin to imagine. What a fun surprise!
Hahahaha.... Oh yeah, I remember that weekend. You were deeply troubled. My mom as laughing about Brett and Kirk literally RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES at Hannigan Meadow back in the day. Oh yeah, Mom's always been one to see the bright/funny/story side of thing. Silly girl...
Thanks ever so for the comment, I love you threw in your two cents! Keep it up, y'hear? :)
