Our family had the opportunity to attend the Fan Fest celebration in Phoenix for the Men’s NCAA Final Four basketball tournament. At this event we celebrated men’s basketball and all the teams that made it to the NCAA tournament. We started the event with the Final Four Dribble from Heritage Square to the Phoenix Convention Center. Before the Dribble began, there were food trucks, music, and other fun activities to participate in by the starting line. The Dribble was for children 18 and younger, and we all received T-shirts and basketballs.

We had the opportunity to interview Cherami Leigh, an actress who also does voices for anime and video games. We discovered that she has had a passion for acting since a very young age. She enrolled in her first acting classes at the age of 5 and landed her first professional job at the age of 7. Throughout her career, she has undergone a wide range of acting training, including film and television acting, stage and theater training, microphone work, singing, dance and gymnastics.

We have participated in the SARSEF Regional Science and Engineering Fair for six years! Each year we develop a project that is of interest to us.

 In November, we participated in the Arizona STEM Adventure, which was planned by many local organizations. These groups included: SARSEF, Northwest Pima Community College, The STEMAZing Project, Office of the Pima County School Superintendent, the University of Arizona Office of Societal Impacts, Raytheon, IBM, and Thomas R. Brown Foundations.

 National Twins Days 2020 happened Friday, Aug. 7 through Sunday, Aug. 9. This event occurs on the first full weekend in August each year.

Being a twin is special because you have someone that understands you. Your twin gets you through hard times and is always there by your side to help you, no matter what.

Another special part that we love about being twins is that we get to share special moments together, like our birthdays (even though Ellie is nine minutes older!)
