A Tale of Twin Smitty's
COOL STUFF:
New Stuff & Pictures
We are Ray Smith (twin1) and Ron Smith (twin2). We are the add ons to an already complete family with one boy and one girl. We are a double oops, the end result of a drunken night following a wild party (the things a parent will tell you once you grow up...oh the shame...). We grew up on Merritt Island, Fl (near the Space Center). At age seven, we moved to Ohio for four years and then it was back to Merritt Island for the Smith family. Two years later we moved to Orlando, where we currently live. Ray and I still live together and are still both single. We also work together building swimming pools here in Central Florida. After hours, we both hang out at a local country night club called 'Cowboys Orlando'. In our spare time we like to go mudding at the local mud holes. We both own 4X4 Ford Broncos. Ray has a Bronco II and I have a full size Bronco. Ray's little bronco is taller than mine. We also like to go boating. Some day Ray will get his own boat... yeah right.
   The year 2000 marked a milestone in our lives. It was the year that we finally made it to Twinsburg, Ohio. The first weekend in August of every year is TwinsDays, the worlds largest annual gathering of twins and higher multiples. We had seen it on TV on various shows, but they never gave details of when or where. When we finally got a computer, Twinsburg was one of our first searches. We had a full year to plan for it because we got our computer just after the festival in '99. It was worth the wait. Words can't describe being in the same place with 2,736 other sets of twins. The first day we walked around in awe and disbelief. The second and third days it was quite normal being in a place where everyone had a double. On occasion, we would get the Twilight Zone feeling and realize that it was a very unique event. We both found ourselves still looking for other people's doubles at the airport on our way home. After three days in Twinsburg, it was odd not being surrounded by twins.

this is one of the cards that our dad made for us to take to Twinsburg. We forgot them at home.
