Gone Sailing . . .

This Saturday we went sailing with our good friend Rob Aird and his dad, Richard, who was in town for the weekend. Rob arranged a charter trip on an authentic wooden yacht, the "Amethyst", captained by Capt. Mack (www.GoSailNow.com):












We spent three hours sailing up the coast from Marina del Rey to Malibu and then back. One of the highlights of the trip was the dolphins:

They were swimming right next to the boat for quite a while and came right below us:




































We had such a good time. However, sailing can be exhausting, and Captain Beckett didn't last.












Later that night, we attended a trunk-or-treat hosted by the three wards that meet in our building. Beckett went as a chicken, costume courtesy of Grandma Roberts.












Beckett had a good time hanging out with the other animals. Here he is with Beckham Smith (skunk) and Easton Aird (turtle).

Man that turtle is the cutest little animal ever. Also isn't Robaird the coolest guy ever for setting up that little trip on the boat? Man, I wish someday that I was as cool as that Robaird guy. Also, nice video of the dolphins. That was neat.

Where were your life preservers? Careful, isn't that how Britney lost custody of her boys?

Safety first, that's what I always say.

We can't wait to see our little nephew! I can't believe he is crawling! He is so cute. I can't wait to play with him. Sailing look slike so much fun. Can't wait to see you soon. We love you guys.
