Your kids play for hours in the Metolius River...
You play the name game around the camp fire until 4 in the morning...
And you let your kids stay up WAY past their bedtime, cause, what the hell, you're in the woods!
You can consume WAY more beer than you used to...
You go for an hour hike and your kids don't complain once, instead they collect flowers and leaves to bring home...
A snuggle on the hammock is WAY better than any cartoon...
The men desperately try to catch fish for dinner...
The kids (and adults) enjoy many intense games of Bocce Ball...
Your two year old could care less that his mother forgot his shoes, and walks around barefoot all weekend...
You have views like this...
Your husband drives his VW bus around town with no shirt...and wears the same pair of swim trunks for 3 days straight...
You consider having this as your Christmas card photo...
And your friends consider having this as their Christmas card photo...
Yep, we all may be transplants...but I think we're official now!

Haha, nice! Awesome pics! I have subcaptions for almost all of those, like...'you play the name game around camp until 4 in the morning (and are hung over until 4 pm the next day)....'A snuggle in the hammock is way better than any cartoon (unless you're Sadie)'...and 'The men desperately try to catch fish for dinner (but never do)'.
I bought replacement batteries for the bocce balls today, so we're all set for next time!
P.S. I stole a pic for my FB profile!
That VW bus is a perfect addition to your family! Looks like a perfect camping trip! And I definitely think that pic should be your Christmas card! Oh and I love that you guys are matchy matchy with the v-dubs :)
You should definitely use that photo for your Christmas card!...so Oregonian. :)
Love the pics and love the VW! I wish we had friends to camp with down here. The kids absolutely love it!! And I think that would be a great Christmas card.
Total hippie Oregonians! I love it!
I am soo incredibly jealous of your new ride. Find me an orange one, and I'll buy it :) Love the pics, looks like you all had a fun time!
Love! Great post ~ what a fun summer you are having!
You are such a Bender! Love it! Um, can you both please remember your plateau roots. Bell square or bust.
LOVE this post and love your new ride.
OMG I LOVE THIS. I want ONE!!!!!!!
You four are such Bend Hippies and I love everything about it! Rooster is lookin' good - can't wait to meet him in person. Can we get a camping weekend on the books with Rooster and the RinaCamper Part II??
That looks like an amazing relaxing vacation! I am also glad to hear that I am not the only mom in the world who forgets shoes for her kids. Love our hippie friends.
You guys are the cutest family and such good parents. Life is good for the Blyths and love the VW's. Great post and hope that pic makes your Christmas card.
I think that makes a great Christmas card. Your family is gorgeous! I love the "drives around with his shirt off in his VW and wears the same swim trunks for 3 days" caption---awesome and reminds me of my hubby. AND I would totally forget Jackson's shoes (because he never wears any) too!! I want to come camping too!! I'll bring my Touareg (kinda fit in)
Fab post, makes me kinda want to be an Oregonian but not sure they would have me!
Think the VW would work in Seattle, too? We want one of those SO bad! :-) Love it!
