Seafood and Bounce (but not necessarily in that order)

The twins and Mommy survived a week of Daddy being out of town only to quarantine him to his bedroom the following weekend because of illness . . . poor Daddy!! But in between, the four of us went to the Sustainable Seafood Festival on the waterfront in Charleston (to encourage buying/eating local)--but arrived too late to buy the fresh shrimp off of the boat (arrgh!). Still, we tried four different salmon dishes prepped by fabulous Chas. chefs (then voted on our fav)!

(Pic: Daddy eating salmon while the twins run around, watch boats and seagulls, say "hi" to everyone, etc.)

Obviously, we're TN Titans fans. Daddy purchased outfits for the twins online. (He already owned 2 adult-sized jerseys, of course!)

A nearby "bounce place" offered free admission all day on the Thurs. before Halloween--for kiddos wearing their costumes, that is. Mommy and her friend April took advantage of it.

Mommy let Gracie go down one of the slides by herself--oh no. Much too fast! (She "flipped" over at the bottom and cried for a minute or two afterward. She curbed her independence just a wee bit after that.)

The kiddos sharing a snack break (L to R): Chance, Grace, Tristan, and Steven. (Thank you, April, for the pics--and for the most delicious sugar cookies ever baked. Seriously. Melt-in-your-mouth and should-sell-'em-for-a-profit delicious.)
