For The Love of Bed Jumping

Do you guys remember the awesomeness that is bed-jumping? There was an entire section of our basement devoted to two old, saggy queen mattresses, perfect for backflips and wrestling matches and general prancing. These days I'm fairly certain my downstairs neighbors wouldn't be too impressed with my backflips. As such, I will just to take solace in these fantastic photos. Le sigh.

Are you a bed-jumper?

Absolutely was. Loved doing that. :D Would still do it today if I weren't battling the bulge (although it's probably pretty good exercise.).

Amazing! I haven't jumped on a bed in years, but I love the idea of keeping a few old mattresses in the basement for my (future) kids!

Cathy said...

I haven't in years but it looks so fun I may take a jump today. One of my favorite photos from childhood is me and my sister jumping on the bed naked.

I love how pretty much all of those look to be in hotel rooms. Fantastic.
All I have to say is... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=789vbM0A6Kg :)

Bed-jumping is really the only way to fully enjoy a vacation.

I agree with Caitlin-- these do seem to all be in hotel rooms. I guess we're all still a little afraid Mom will yell at us if we jump on our OWN beds :-P

The guy with the chihuahua! The lady in adult footie pajamas! Brilliant!! I'm pretty sure I would be instant friends with these people.

I actually had a dream last night that I walked in on my husband....jumping on the bed. I would never jump on my own bed, but hotel rooms are fair game.

Ha ha ha ha! With every photo I was thinking 'this one os the best one', but I kept saying that to all of them.

A perfect post to brighten up my afternoon. :) Being able to bed-jump is my favorite part of staying in a hotel. Hahaha.

I think its pretty funny that most of those are in hotels.

I don't jump in the bed, but I'm a huge fan of jumping into bed.

Color me inspired.

The last time I jumped on a bed, I jumped too close to the edge, fell off and sprained my ankle...

Emily said...

Those photos rock my face off, they are too fabulous!! The guy with the towel cape is my favorite for sure!

I used to love the children's picture book about the little boy who jumped on his bed, fell through the floor, and went through like 10 stories of his apartment. It was such a fun book. Anyone else?

Lisa Grace said...

These photos look like SO much fun. I absolutely need to engage in some bed-jumping STAT :D

I am still, three months later, obsessed with bed jumping photos. I've been taking some too and have just posted about it with a link back here. Thanks for the inspiration. It is the most. Fun. I. Have. Had. Since. Forever.
