There was a little boy named Alvin. He was about to celebrate his 3rd birthday. He was excited about turning three and having a birthday party with his friends. Alvin's birthday party is at  Chuckie Cheese this year, with all the cool games and rides.

 On the day of his party, he was so excited that he kept asking his mom, "Are we going to my party yet'? Are my friends there? Alvin loved going to Chuckie Cheese, but his favorite thing to do was jump at the jump zone with his cousin Elijah.

Alvin was having a great time at his party, but one thing kept catching his eye. It was a big box wrapped in really cool birthday paper, and like most kids, Alvin kept asking his mom repeatedly, “Can I open my presents now”?

Finally, it was time for the kids to sing Happy Birthday to Alvin. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ----TOOO "Woosh!" Alvin got so excited that he blew the candle out before the kids finished singing the song. Alvin said, "Mommy, can I open my presents now?"!

Mommy replied come on, son, let’s open the gifts, Alvin started with the small gifts and then the medium gifts, and he saved the biggest one for last. 

Mommy and Daddy told Alvin to come over and see the gift that Uncle Taron sent him from California. Alvin's face lit up like a Christmas light as he repeated "My Uncle Taron" with a big smile. 

Alvin runs to the big present, takes some of the paper off, and then yells, “Daddy, can you please help me.” They pull off the paper, and WOW! To Alvin’s surprise, it was a big blue  TRAMPOLINE. Alvin looked at his parents and asked what is that? He had only seen the trampolines at the jump zone.

His mom and dad said it's a trampoline, and you jump on it.  Alvin continued playing with his friends until his party was over.

The next day, Alvin's trampoline was set up, and his parents said come try out your new trampoline. Alvin looked at the strange gift he got from his favorite uncle and thought, It doesn't look like the ones he and his cousin Elijah jumped on.
