REDNECK BABY JUMPER


I never got to post about this homemade outdoor baby jumper. Dan built this thing for
Daniel a few years ago as a chin up bar. I dragged it out of the forest and Voila!
The babies loved it. One day I hit it with the lawn mower and it fell over and broke. Almost wiped out a rose bush on the way. So it is history...I burned it in the fire pit and roasted smores over it.

Oh no! You crashed into it and now it's ashes??! At least you got smores outta it. That is (was!) a really cool chin-up bar/baby jumper/whatever-else-you-can-make-it-into. It looks very teepee-ish. I would love to be outside bouncing around on that, too! That probably would have helped it on its way to the fire pit, though...

Pretty simple.
Drill and 1 1/4 inch hole in the trees and place 1 inch pipe through it and cut the bottom at a back wards point, so it dig in when set to the right height, by moving the legs closer of further apart, it would grow with Daniel.

Way to recycle, from Daniel, to babies, to smores... well used!

So COOL!!! What a great idea! I can't believe it's broken now! But I guess it's too cold to use right now anyway- and by the time it's warm they'll be too big. I love the pic of him sleeping in it. So cute!

I have to admit I logged onto your blog with a faint hope to see paintball pics (since I missed out this year). However, cute baby pics are just as good! It must be fun having those little guys around as much as you do!

Miss you guys!

Somehow I missed seeing this post and stumbled upon it by accident in google reader. Although i am sad at its passing, it sure went out with a bang! haha

I can't believe how bald and little Alex is! They sure grow fast!
