Instructions<\/strong> for hot summer afternoons:<\/p>\n1. Get a round trampoline. The bigger the better.<\/p>\n
2. Get a little inflatable kiddie pool.<\/p>\n
3. Inflate the kiddie pool and place it in the middle of the trampoline.<\/p>\n
4. Fill the pool with water.<\/p>\n
5. Ignore all pertinent warnings on the trampoline, the pool, and any insurance documents.<\/p>\n
6.a. Do high-altitude seat-drops from the bouncy outer edge of the trampoline surface into the pool.<\/p>\n
6.b. Put a small child in the pool, seated, then bounce on the trampoline surface outside the pool, creating a delightfully churning froth of waves inside the pool.<\/p>\n
6.c. Lie on back in pool with legs dangling out for inordinately long periods of time.<\/p>\n
