The water’s getting warm so you might<br />
as well swim...<br />
The sun is shining and the bees are buzzing...<br />
That can mean only one thing − summer is on its<br />
way! School is nearly out, and for a lot of kids that<br />
means a summer vacation is on the cards. We’ve got<br />
a handy feature on camping with multiples (26) from<br />
Tracy Salcedo, as well as tips for germ-proof travel<br />
(24) from Harley A. Rotbart, M.D.<br />
Summer is also a big time for change as schoolage<br />
twins move up the grades. Shanna Silva shares<br />
her feelings about her twins choosing to go to separate<br />
colleges on page 20. We’ve also got advice from<br />
Janet Gonzalez-Mena about handling another major<br />
milestone: when toddler twins move from sleeping<br />
in a crib to a bed (page 14).<br />
We’ve also got another adorable Double Takes<br />
section, filled with our readers’ best twin photos.<br />
Did you submit a picture? Head to page 36 to see if<br />
it made it in! Don’t be disheartened if your picture<br />
isn’t in this issue − we received hundreds of entries<br />
and it’s almost impossible to pick only forty!<br />
We’re on the lookout for more true-life twin<br />
stories. If you’d like to contribute to the magazine,<br />
please email me at twinseditor@twinsmagazine.com<br />
for more information.<br />
As always, it has been a privilege compiling this<br />
issue for you. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as<br />
I enjoyed putting it together. Until next time!<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Laura Cunningham<br />
