Us along with Joaquin's Great Aunts who are from Missorri, who are also twins.

What a trip, what a TRIP! Oceanside California is where Joaquin's Dad and step Mom, Cindy live. We absolutely love it there! We had such a blast, the only problem was, it was too short of a trip. I was so bumbed when it came time for us to go home. But that is neither here nor there. So the whole reason for this trip was because of a Twin Reunion Joaquin's Dad had put together. There are a total of 5 sets of twins in his family. The eldest set being 78 years old and the youngest being 8 months old. It was so fun to get together and visit and get to know each other. Plus we were in So Cal so we were able to go to the beach which I was happy about. Along with a Thursday night market they have downtown. So we are so "popular" that we made the Oceanside newspaper. There was a reporter there along with a camera man. You can actually read the article online if you want. I thought the writer did a good job. (Except she spelled Andon's name wrong.) http://www.nctimes.com/news/local/oceanside/article_82c4fcab-0cd8-5c9d-9166-9d1a2c04313f.html Check it out if your interested. If this link doesn't work, I just googled, Everett and Brock Ficker and it comes up. So I'm back to good old Utah. You know, if I could do it all over again, I wouldn't buy a house, I get a trailer and just be the free spirit that I know I really am and I'd live all over the country. Just the four of us. We'd be Gypsies. I'm not sure how we'd eat but who cares, we'd be living!!! Oh in another life I suppose. ;)
