Blog Swap: Summer Vacation

Today I’m participating in the 20 Something Bloggers Blog Swap. You’ll find me posting over at "Musings of a Girl" about my thoughts on Summer Vacations and I’m pleased to welcome Heather to  Gidget's Two Cents:

"I am really excited to be paired with Christy for 20-Something Bloggers' Blog Swap. We are talking about Summer Vacations this time around. I have a personal blog over at Musings of a Girl. Check out my post below and tell me your most horrifying summer vacation memory."

All fun and games...

It's all fun and games until someone loses a toenail, but I’ll get to that later.  This weekend was chock full of fun.  Friday night was the Schenevus Carnival where we got to catch up with many of our old high school friends, eat some fabulously cheap fried dough, and watch some of the best fireworks in the state of New York.  I also got my baby fix in as we hung out with Jennifer -Marie and her new baby Jocelyn. Saturday we cleaned all three vehicles with Jay's power washer (thanks Uncle Richie!) and then lazed about in our pool for a good portion of the day.  In the evening we met up with Justin's sister Elise and her fiance Dan for some Domino's Pizza and a double feature at a local drive-in.  We saw the newest Batman "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Ted."  Both were pretty good.  The Batman movie was certainly action packed, although a little overkill on the shooting scenes.  Ted was absolutely hilarious.  In typical Justin fashion, a verse from the Thunder Buddies song has become a new catch phrase for him.

Furry Friday: Jumper

Riley is loving that we've moved our bedroom upstairs.  He is loving the fact that the stairwell is no longer gated and that the upstairs is once again part of his domain.  One small problem though, Riley has developed a new bad habit since we've moved upstairs... jumping off the bed.  He never did this in our downstairs bedroom, but I think that had to do with the fact that the floor wasn't carpeted.  He's always been a jumper when it came to getting up/down from the couch, but the bed is quite high and I cringe at the thought of back surgery for the little dude.  Doggy stairs aren't really an option either.  We have a set for the couch and try as we may, he only learned to use them to go up.  Coming back down he apparently enjoys the thrill of a jump.  So now I have to contemplate a solution to this very real problem.  Suggestions?
