<div style="background-color: white; font: 13px/19px Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0.6em;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Winters are looooooong around these parts and as soon as the first above-freezing days happen, the kids sit in front of our family room windows waiting ever-so-impatiently for the snow to melt off of our trampoline. We bought the trampoline at Wal-Mart. It wasn't expensive, but it has been, by far, the best investment we have made for our new house. Instead of being cooped up inside after school, the kids are outside from the moment they get home from school until I call them for dinner. Not only are they outside in the fresh air getting exercise (Without them even realizing that they are exercising! Bonus!), but more importantly, they are playing together. I couldn't <i>pay </i>them to play together inside.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span">Best. Investment. Ever.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span">It's built-in entertainment, and play, and fun.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span">But for our family it goes beyond the trampoline, obviously, and from the moment the snow thaws, we are out and about. Last weekend we and some friends took our kids on an adventure to Sugarbush, where they could see how maple syrup is made. The kids got to watch the process from sap to bottle...and then even got to have a little taste at each step!</span><br />
