After school, we drove down to Hood Canal to spend Labor Day weekend with Dock, Nana, and Tyler.
The house we rented is right on a rocky beach and today the boys enjoyed exploring.
(Tyler explored from the Bjorn…)
We found oysters which we collected to go with dinner, and Dock lifted a big rock and showed the boys how they could find little crabs. Jack would not touch one, but after some initial hesitation, Owen was hooked. 
After awhile he apparently found a crab that he really liked. I say this because Owen carried him around in his shirt pocket.
Both boys brought a crab up to the house (I carried Jack’s) and put them into a tiny aquarium (aka a juice glass.) Owen named his crab, “Lucky” and I think that might have been a good name as the crab survived into the evening under the care of a six-year-old and was released (still alive!) before bedtime.
Jack named his crab, “Crabby Anderson – or you can say, Crab Abby Anderson. Actually he is Henry Anderson which is like me only not the Jack!”
One of the boys offered licorice to the crabs as a special dessert. We cannot tell if the crabs liked the licorice or not…
Tyler spent quite a bit of time crawling around exploring the house. He did not find a tiny crab, but that didn’t seem to bother him at all! 
(Tyler doesn’t usually use a binky, but Jack felt the need to give the binkies to Tyler at random times – and also take them away at random times. Luckily Tyler was content either way – and simply found Jack to be a very entertaining toy!)
They boys went wild when they realized that they got to sleep in bunk beds. They climbed right on the beds and put their nai-nai guys away as soon as we arrived. Bedtime was a breeze!
Eric and I lucked out on our room as well. It was a beautiful room with a king bed and a huge window overlooking the lake.
