Wall-to-wall trampolines

There was no school today in Palo Alto. One of those vague administrative holidays.

After practicing their violin pieces, the normally tireless Cole and Owen quickly wore themselves out vaulting from trampoline to trampoline at Sky High in Santa Clara.

They would exhaust themselves, sit next to me for a few minutes, then return for more jumping. Older kids plopped themselves down on the trampolines somewhere only to have the Staff Guy would have to shout "STAND UP!" Sitting or lying on the trampolines for more than a few seconds isn't allowed.

Cole is pretty good at trampoline jumping, and threw in a lot of front- and back-flips, layouts, back handsprings, etc.

"You're pretty good," the Staff Guy said. "You should come at night, when the girls are here. Bring your little black book."
