How Do You Spell Trampoline?

It started with a whole bunch of these ...
 
Which were opened one by one to reveal this ...

Hmmmm.  What can it be?  We were really not fair.  We had her open all of the vowels first.  When she came to box #4 she opened an "a" ... and said "I thought it might be a trampoline, but there isn't an "a" in trAmpoline."  It really took all we had to not say, "Oh yes there is!"  Box #5 stumped her too ... she thought the "n" was a "u".  And we worried that she would figure it out by box #1!

Finally we got to this ...

 
Ohhh ... that's how you spell it.  Wait!  Is that an "a" I see?!  When Torrey figured it out she immediately said, "Where is it?"  And, when we told her outside she wanted to know how she had missed it.  She doesn't miss much, but, she did miss this ...
 
 
And, we had one jumping Christmas in Texas!  Merry Christmas!
