5 Wonderfully Blessed Years! (Our 5th Anniversary)

On August 27th Mark and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary by heading out to our favorite cabin on Shelter Island, the Rupe Andrews Memorial Cabin. We headed out on Friday, stayed Friday and Saturday night and headed home on Sunday afternoon. Once again, we were not disappointed - great weather, fishing and fun on the beach and in the cabin.
Mark, Caitlin and Brew heading to the cabin with a load of our stuff. . . we don't pack lightly!Andrew and I hung out on the boat till the last load was delivered.
Then we headed out fishing! We caught some nice looking coho salmon :)

Poor kid spent some time in the high chair and pack-n-play over the weekend!Caitlin in Mama's extra tuffs!
I let Caitlin take a few pictures with my camera. Once we got past holding the camera covering the lens, she did very well!
A picture of Mama!
Close up of Andrew!
And one of Dada BBQ'ing - might I add, she actually got the boat in this picture too! I see talent :)
The evening sky just kept getting better and better!
Mark and I were talking about how much more Andrew is allowed to do than Caitlin was when she was his age. We actually stayed out at this cabin for our 3rd anniversary, Caitlin would have been almost one and there was no way I'd let her crawl around in the trees, let alone dirt! But little Mandrew is allowed too - either cause he is the second kid and I realize dirt is okay or because he is a boy, and boys are allowed to get dirty!
Either way he had fun exploring the roots, dirt and pine cones in his cameo, can you find him?? :)
Such a great husband, taking care of the dishes with one of the kids and the dog!
Little turkey wouldn't smile for me!
Here I come!
Oh the happy couple!
On Saturday we tried fishing some more of course!
Per Caitlin she is "relaxing" here :)
Back on land after a long day of fishing. . .
I am not sure what Caitlin was doing with the broom, but she was very entertained!

Time for s'mores'!!!
Caitlin won't eat the marshmallows but loves to hang on to it until it is all gross :)
Dada and his little loon!
We have been so blessed over the last five years -
two beautiful and amazing kids,
a warm home,
thoughtful and loving family,
and each other.
I love you Mark - Happy Anniversary~
