Can you believe we woke up at 5:30am to be on tv!? On the way to the golf course, we won a trivia contest on my favorite radio station- Q104 FM. I had some friends and relatives call and ask if that was Heather and I on GMA! How cool. |

~~~ Friday- Welcome Weiner Roast at Dodge Middle School ~~~
|
As always, it was hot and alot of people showed up! An Independent Film was being shot in the Dodge Gymnasium- and they needed twins for the shot. We each got paid a penny to dance in a 100 degree gym for approximately 3 hours! As the night wore on, more and more people left. But, Heather and I lasted until the end. I'm not sure if I'll ever see the movie, but it was an experience! |

Double Take Parade & Festival |
After about 4 hours of sleep, Heather and I decided to go to the Double Take Parade. In all the years that we have been coming to the festival, this was only the 3rd parade we've attended (1978 & 1996)! It was alot of fun, so I am sure we will be joining our friends in the parade from now on. Did I mention how hot it was?!

~~~ SUNDAY- AUGUST 4, 2002 ~~~
At the Festival & Cosmic Bowling |
Heather had to leave early to drive home to Indiana, so I was left to hang out with all our friends! I spent the day at the festival, then later had dinner with Nick and Jim. Afterwards, I went to the bowling alley to join Keith & Kevin and the others for a few games! This was the first time I've gone to the bowling event and it was a blast! Heather and I will definately stay late on Sunday to join all the other twins for bowling! I ended the 4th game with 3 strikes in a row... which is unheard of for me! After saying goodbye to everyone, I drove home... thinking that another Twins Days was over and another year to wait to see all my 'twin' friends again!

Another Twins Days over... People often wonder why the festival is so special to twins. Heather and I look forward to the weekend throughout the year because it gives us an opportunity to reunite with GOOD friends and to meet new friends (Karl & John!)... It allows us to celebrate our special bond, one that is difficult to explain. Did I mention how fun it is? I think the pictures speak a thousand words. All the smiles and good times. It also gives us an excuse to go on a shopping spree once a year! As our friends Chris and John say, "The calendar revolves around Twins Days... 365 days and counting until Twins Days..." We're always sad on the last day of the festival- all the goodbyes and hugs... but we know that we'll be in touch with some of our twin friends throughout the year.. and we will see the others again in a year.
