Trampo-swing, Tarzan swing & backyard play environment

I decided to turn an older mini trampoline we had that was not in use into a swing!! It works and it is a hit!!!  Graham and Parker LOVE swinging on it.  You can sit up, lay on your back, or lay on your stomach. It seems to be so relaxing to them! I also turned our other baby swing into a Tarzan rope swing.  Both the little kids and the big kids LOVE it!!! I also changed around the backyard play area with the help of a friend. The covers on the canopies need replaced but that will come in the near future. They are very weathered and have lasted since 2009, and through many days with hurricanes or very high winds. I think we might bleach the foam mats. I also have another idea for the foam mats....  all to come in the near future.  It is hard to keep grass growing nicely out there.

relaxed on the trampo-swing

lots of fun

you can sit or lay down on it

taking a ride on his belly and checking out the view
