After being cautioned to stay away from the little kids' area, and after removing our shoes and stashing our belongings in a convenient cubby, we were ready to go —across the expanses of connected black trampolines until we found a strip that was relatively unused. And then we started to jump. A smile immediately spread across my face and stayed there. I jumped higher and higher, then moved closer to my bouncing partner; his perfectly timed leap launched me into the sky, and the perma-grin on his face was just as goofy as mine. We giggled and jumped, and jumped and giggled, until we were panting and sweating, finally forcing ourselves off for a water and rest break.
