(Note: A loooong post to follow . . . )
Monday night: Birthday party for Uncle Sam and Aunt Gill (Jenny's brother and sis-in-law), visiting from Parker, CO! Cold Stone cake for all--and presents for Chance and Grace from S & G.
Party Girl Grace (see VIDEO below of her trying to reach the hat on her back and Chance tackling her)
Cake! (Daddy is taking the picture, btw. He flew to Kansas--for work--early the next morning.) 
Chance with his new car, his concentration requiring tongue to stick out of mouth. 
Grace reading her new book beside her new polar bear--and repeating her new word "zebra."
Grace giving Aunt Gill kisses.
Chance driving his new car on Uncle Sam, who's worn out from all the partying.
Mommy loves the sea turtles.
Mommy carrying two tired and hot 16-mo-olds.
Chance snacking while sitting in the hollowed out engine of a jet (see photo below).

Grace playing on one of the two boats (for kids). (We have no idea who the kid behind her is.)

Because S & G would be staying downtown for 2 nights without a car (their romantic mini-vacation!), Mommy thought she would drive them over the Ravenel bridge to see a sight she and the twins hadn't seen. None of us thought about the fact that the aircraft carrier wouldn't be air conditioned. It must've been 100 degrees inside (it was at least 85 degrees outside), and we sought out whatever air conditioning we could find in the theater and the Medal of Honor Museum. Still, the ship amazed us, and naturally, Chance appreciated (understatement) the airplanes.
Grace and Chance in the dentist's chair below deck. Aunt Gill attempts to give Gracie's teeth a much-needed cleaning. 
Uncle Sam took Chance into the cockpit, to his utter glee.
Chance with his Aunt Gill: The ocean breezes on deck were a welcomed relief from the heat below.

Tuesday night: If you can believe it, we dined at Bubba Gump Shrimp for dinner, Gracie trying crab meat for the first time, the twins worn out after a fantastic day, though we missed Daddy's rendition of "I love you, Jenny."
