Grandad and Granmom Pavel were awesome enough to bring the whole family to Hilton Head again this summer. And THIS time our place was super-sized with Luke and Silas's cousin Karis, Uncle Josh, and Aunt Leah! Plus, across the street and down the road were Jeanine's Uncle Dave, Aunt Ann, cousins Chris & Kim (and her boyfriend Matt), Uncle Harry, Aunt Mac, and cousin Tara (and her friend Dan). Whooo! Jammed up with all kinds of fun people...

So this post (and the accompanying Picture of the Day) kicks off a two-week cross-site coverage Stunt Spectacular with the Baby Pavel site. Check in with both sites for a new picture each day.
