Owen's actual birthday was June 21st. We did some shopping that day, and the surf was rough, so we hadn't gone down to the beach before dinner. (This picture was taken at lunchtime). As we were eating dinner, Owen asked about going to the beach. We said we might not go today. He started crying and saying how he was supposed to go to the beach on his birthday, and he wanted to go. So, cousin Shari piped in that we could go down and take the flashlights to look for sand crabs. This seemed to be the perfect solution (to avoid changing everyone's clothes right before bedtime), and Owen was really excited!

We stopped to commemorate the moment.
Justin commemorated this while we were taking the other picture.
We tried to get a family portrait (minus Phoebe)
And we tried some more!
Aunt Monica and Aunt Jeanne helped!
And after finding a ton of tiny crabs, we found one we could really see. It was quite fun, and the boys LOVED it!! Perfect end to Owen's birthday.
