OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Your sailor is allowed to submit 4 names for admittance to graduation. Children under 12 do not count towards that so you could have 4 adults and the 2 little girls. Keep in mind that HE will have to submit the names, and also everyone (including the children) will need to have proper ID to get in.

If more than 4 adults want to attend but can't, is it worth the trip for them to come? Are there other activities they could attend? My son leaves in March 2011 and we have 11 adults that want to attend and I don't know what to do.

There is a chance the extra people could be allowed to wait outside to see if there's room for them. Not every sailor has 4 guests there (some have none, sadly) so there's usually a little extra room, but there's no guarantee. There's lots of other stuff to do in the area, check out some of the other discussions related to PIR and see what you can find out. If he's not grad'n'go, he'll have the whole weekend (daytime anyway) to spend with you all, so the rest of the family would get to spend time with him. Keep in mind that he'll just be coming off an extremely tiring week, most of them want to take a shower (alone), have a steak dinner, and relax. So don't plan a lot of strenuous stuff involving him until you find out what he wants to do.
