John is crazy

John had the kids up on the roof cleaning out the gutters.  (That is why you have kids, right?  To put them to work?)  He told them they could jump off the roof and on to the trampoline.  So being the paranoid one, I say "what happens if they jump off and just keep going?  What happens if they fall off the trampoline, will you catch them?"  Of course he says yes.
Look, sisters can fight, even on the roof :)
And pose!!!

So we push the trampoline over by the house and John tells James to jump off.  James doesn't even hesitate.  I was barely able to get the camera up.  He just lept.  

  That kid has no fear.  I hope he survives his teenage years.  (Especially with a dad that lets him jump off the roof!!!)
The girls were too chicken.  They didn't want to do it.  

So James did it again.  

Even Andy joined in.
The girls were still to chicken. 
Becca was finally ready. . . 

She loved it, thought it was great.  
But poor cassie just couldn't be convinced.  She was not doing it.  
 So Becca did it again.  (James and Andy a few times more.  They thought it was the best thing ever.) 

Then guess who was right?  I was.  Becca kept going.  Unfortunately, I wasn't expecting it, so I missed all the legs flying through the air action.  But I did catch how she landed. 
On top of some old patio furniture that they use to climb up the fence.  Poor thing, that did not feel good.  
Hugs from daddy helped though.  


Then with from bribery from Dad, she did it!!!!!  Yeah!!!!!  (even after her sister just biffed it.  Figure that one out)

(We look really white trash with our duct tape on our house, how awesome are we?)

Well, there you have it.  Our entertainment on a Saturday afternoon.
