Robin, thank you so much! And, yes – it really was sooooo cool! We had a blast doing this – more adults really needed to jump on and have some fun! So, now I want to see this video of you in the snow! Robin, that’s what I really love about you – how you are bursting with such enthusiasm for life. In fact, I can just feel it, even in just reading your words here – it’s like they are jumping off the page! Your support here means the world to me – thank you for continuing to come back and brighten my days!

Ooooooooh! This is sooooo cool!!!!!! I would not be able to stay off this thing. I not only LOVE doing things with kids, but I LOVE stuff like this. I forget myself doing it. I laugh as hard as the kids. I become INFUSED with Life. This is SO cool, Lance. I am sitting here excited out of my mind!!!!!!! What is so neat, is that I am working on a video about doing fun things that keep us alive. I am going to bookmark this post and link back to it whenever I get the video done. You would not believe the fun stuff I love doing. My husband filmed me rolling in the snow the other day. I was laughing my head off. Bit by bit I am collecting snippets of film to do a video. I am sooooo proud of you and your wife for going out there with those kids. Two seconds into this video and my WHOLE energy rose. Can you believe that? I was feeling tired and overworked and just watching this video changed my whole level of energy. I wanted to be on that thing with those kids sooooooo badly. You are such a HUGE confirmation and inspiration for me. You confirm Life and Vitality and Abundance and Joy and so much more. This has made my whole daaaaay!!! Yipppeeeeeeee!!!!
Thank you a thousand times over. If you could seem me grinning and laughing right now from this viedo you would chuckle. Many hugs, Robin!

Zandria, it was sweet! This was like a gigantic trampoline, and if you fell you just rolled into the sand! Well…for me, as long as I didn’t smash any little kids along the way!!

A big bouncy pillow? Sweet! I’ve always loved trampolines, although I haven’t been on one in a while…

Jennifer, you’re welcome! This was so much fun, and yet hardly any adults!! We need more of you out there – being a kid, having fun, living life!

Thanks for the reminder Lance. I'm all about having more fun. I would totally join in on the big bouncy pillow. It looked like so much fun. Jennifer´s last blog post..A Simple Holiday and Life Hack

@Cath – It really was great fun Cath! Campfires and s’mores are really a big part of the camping experience – I hope you do get the chance t experience this fun morsel of goodness!

@Avtcoach – The thing about this was it’s sheer size – it was sooo big! Having a list of things to accomplish is a great idea – I have one of those lists somewhere, which reminds me – I should find it, and update it! Merry Christmas to you, too!

Thank you Lance for visiting my place today. I do plan to enjoy every minute of the Christmas season. I have several friends who have lost their fathers this year. Mine was very ill last March and although he is doing better he will be 75 in '09. I want to enjoy each and every holiday with him and my mom. I read your post and honestly I have never seen anything like this. What an amazement it must be to come upon this and just get on it and jump! Looks like great fun! You are right we get accustomed to the world of adult rules and forget that our play time is our own and we should just explore! I have a friend who has made a list of all of the wonderful things she wants to do that are new and different and she checks things off of her list as she experiences them. What freedom she has checking them off. Ymmmm...I might have to make a list of my own. Merry Christmas! avtcoach´s last blog post..Season's Greetings: Are we Up or Down?

Hi Lance – It sounds like you had an awesome fun. And this is a great reminder for us all to have more fun. I’m definitely going to make a conscious effort.

And I love the way you American’s have campfires and eat smores. I’ve always wanted to do that – hopefully I’ll get a chance if we get to move to the States.

@Kelly Turner – Go play Kelly! Swing on the swings, spin on the merry go round, go down the slide! Sometimes that’s just what you need to get over the stress of a long day. Working 10-13 hours a day, that’s a very long work day, Kelly. While that can be sustainable in the short-term, it’s probably going to lead to burn out. I suggest you “try” to find a way to cut back a bit… Keeping a roof over your head – that is important, and yet, don’t let that be the only driver in your decisions. And, all that said, if you do love what you do, look to keep the fun in it…

@LisaNewton – A new bike, awesome Lisa!! And when others get excited about what “you’re” excited about, it makes it even better! And, I love my bike too! (but it’s put away for the winter – I would need a mini-plow on it to use it right now!) Enjoy your new bike Lisa!!!

@Tabby – I’m with you 100% Tabby! Let’s let that child in us out as much as he/she wants to come out!!

@Jean Browman – Bouncing on the trampoline – very cool Jean! It’s a great way to stay fit and even act a little bit like a kid!

@Cricket – Isn’t that cool – it’s become a habit! And that’s a great point, Cricket, that things we make a habit start to happen automatically – without us even trying. Keep on doing it Cricket – it’s great for you, personally, and also for your kids – and the message you’re passing on to them – that having fun is okay (which we sometimes start to lose as we get older…). I think this is all very awesome Cricket!

Hey Lance, This is great. I began trying to live my life each day just like this. It became habit and now I don't even try anymore. "Being a kid" at heart is just there. I would not have it any other way. Cricket´s last blog post..What is wrong with this picture?

I have a jogging trampoline and bounce almost every day. I watch videos from Netflix while I do it.

I deeply believe we should allow our inner child out as often as he/she wishes. Loved reading this! Tabby´s last blog post..Reflection and Gratitude

This post is so timely. Yesterday, I was talking to a friend on the phone, saying how excited I was about my new bike. He said I sounded like a kid. You know what, I did and I am. I sent a picture of it to my kids via my cell phone, and they loved it, saw my excitment and joined in. So, thank you Lance. I'll be having fun this weekend and many more days to come on my bike...............:) LisaNewton´s last blog post..Are your workouts being Devoured up by eating too many sweets?

i want to escape adulthood! I work 10-13 hours a day at my day job and have little energy for much else. Im only 22! i do alot of it to myself, but this management crap is wearing me down- i think its time for a switch.

I get antsy every few months and need to do something new. I just need to make sure I can keep a roof over my head as well.

BUT! that doesnt mean i cant go play on the playground for a few hours, does it?
