Neighbor Logan has had a trampoline for months, and I had been longing to see him use it. Stretching it a bit, I said he made my dream come true. Another first that day was his calling himself to see if he could stay with me rather than go with his parents to an appointment in Asheville. I was pleased, so it worked well for everyone.
We had quite a bit of time to fill, so we began by playing games. It took me 8 minutes longer to work the Set puzzle for the day, and he finished Wordle in a very short time. I didn’t figure it out until that night, probably four hours after he did. It’s not that I’ve slowed down so much, but he has an extremely bright mind.
Logan’s favorite sport these days is basketball. After lunch he went out on the street to dribble a ball and use up some energy. I took a few videos, mostly of things I had already recorded. When I asked if I could see him on the trampoline, he kindly agreed. As we walked down his steep driveway, he suggested I might like to use the steps instead of walking in the grass. His thoughtfulness and good manners are amazing.
It was so much fun to watch him jump and turn flips. I had no idea he could that.
After we came back to my house, he shared videos of some of his favorite basketball players. One did a running jump, and he was high enough that he could have landed on my shoulders! I was editing the videos I had taken and shared them with his household before Shawn and Bob came home. It had been a most satisfying afternoon.

What a great afternoon! The only thing that could have made it better was a dish of ice cream! 🙂

We had ice cream, too, after lunch. Maybe that’s why Logan jumped so well!

I was on a trampoline a few times in high school. I would never have learned how to do a flip. It’s much easier to aim a camera at the action.

Very cool!!!! I wanted a trampoline when I was a kid. They look like so much fun. I’ve been on one once as an adult and it’s not as easy as Logan makes it look. Good job!!!
