Going somewhere special for our anniversary is something that we always make sure we do. This year, since I'm still nursing Aubrie, we did something close to Gammy and Poppop so the kiddos could stay with them but still be close by. We rented a cabin at the Siltcoos Station near Florence. It was very quiet and rustic. Perfect for us. We went out for a nice dinner in Florence first. Then we walked along Bay Street and got some frozen yogurt. By the time we made it out to Siltcoos Station it was pretty dark. We felt our way around, found our cabin, and let ourselves in. There is a nice little pier and dock overlooking Siltcoos Lake. We spent some time at the lake that evening and then again the next morning with our coffee and muffins. The plan was that we would have the whole day to ourselves and my parents would bring the kids out at dinner time and then stay the next night with us. At about 11:00 AM my mom and sister drive up to the cabin with the kids. Grant was sick. :( We weren't sure if he was just wanting Mommy or if he really was sick. All he wanted to do when he got to the cabin though was lay down and sleep. He slept most of the day, so we were able to just hang out and talk. It was actually very nice even with our little boy interrupting our alone time.
Later that evening, Gammy, Auntie Kate, Aubrie, and the Ransoms came out for dinner and a bonfire. We all (except the Ransoms) stayed in the cabin that night. Grant still wasn't feeling well (we figured out later that he had Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease) so we just laid low and relaxed. Paul and I even got to get in a kayak ride while the kids were napping.
