With plenty of crafts, story time and laughter – and, in some cases, crying – the children’s convention includes 314 registered infants, preschoolers and children grades K-5. Among the energetic faces, it could be easy not to note that there are five sets of twins aged 7 to 9.

Hannah and Tyler Hedderick, age 8, of Union City, Pa.
Parents: Jeremy and Shawna Hedderick
Convention highlights: “Swimming in the pool!” said Hannah. “I get to go swimming tonight!”Tyler said he liked making crafts, particularly the Holy Spirit Mosaic he was working on during the interview.
Favorite thing about being a twin: “We can play together everywhere and anywhere!” the twins said, but added that they “sometimes fight,” too.

Daniel and Rebekah Holsopple, age 9, of Archbold, Ohio
Parents: William “Bill” and Beth Holsopple
Convention highlights: Everything, they said, “but especially the games” added Daniel.
Favorite thing about being a twin: “Playing video games together,” said Daniel.
Rebekah said they like to share the games, and also their Nintendo DS … although “we do fight over who gets to play the DS game first,” she added.

Names: Joel and Kara Kornhaus, age 7, Fredericksburg, Ohio
Parents: Robert and Lila Kornhaus
