Gone with the wind.

The wind in Las Vegas can be sooo annoying. And it seems like we’ve had a lot of it lately. The wind can really mess things up. A while ago I was driving down Craig Road when I saw someone from our development in the middle of the road trying to get their trampoline. They had one of those safety jump nets around their trampoline and the wind had just picked up the whole thing and blown it out of their backyard and into Craig Road.

I remember thinking how glad I was because our trampoline is in ground and while we have to worry about the trash can, BBQ, and the kids playhouse blowing over (which they all have) we never have to worry about the trampoline.

Well, we don’t have to worry about the trampoline but we should have done some prep work.

The wind has completely destroyed the bumper pad around the tramp. It is shredded to pieces.

The actual pad inside the blue material was blown out and broken to little piece all over the backyard. There are blue threads littered all through the grass.

I never paid much attention to the pad or ever thought that it would be a casualty of the Las Vegas wind but I have learned my lesson!
