Go Go Go Go Shorty, It's Your Birthday

While I, along with the rest of you wait for some "after" pictures of the new apartment, I thought those of you who aren't Dawnell's friend on facebook would be interested to know that her birthday was on Sunday. No partying on Sunday, since we had to go to our new ward, but we had an awesome time on Saturday.

We went to Mystic Seaport for Dawnell's birthday. Mystic Seaport is a nautical version of colonial Williamsburg. Dawnell and I enjoyed it so much that we got the membership. Actually, membership costs less than going twice, and we got a free hat out of the deal, so that was nice.

Here's Beckett looking cute at the start of the day:

We took a boat ride around the harbor. Lots of fun. Beckett is not steering in a storm during our boat ride. This is actually a mural for you to be a pretend Ahab.

This may have been a real boat, but now we use it for pictures of exasperated parents trying to keep Beckett from falling over the edge.

We loved the name of this boat. Tough to get a good picture of our little dude though, as he showed that he too was a Dancing Moon.

After our fun day at Mystic Seaport we went a couple miles up the road to Abbott's Lobster in the Rough. Those of you who know how much I love seafood know that this was definitely a decision based on Dawnell's birthday weekend. She ate a lobster about as big as this one and loved every minute!

And here's the whole family (with Pinchy) at the end of the day.
