Sally, Sadie, and Benny Kyburg walked into Pirates Cove Snack Bar early Saturday morning.

Their twin brothers Johnny and Billy were turning fourteen years old the following Monday on the Fourth of July. After saying hello to Mom, Dad, and Grandma Sadie, they quickly got to the point. They wanted to have a birthday party for the twins.

Mrs. Kyburg asked, What do you have in mind?

Sally spoke, It was actually Sadie's idea to take the twins on the Matterhorn to New York City to see the Fourth of July fireworks. The snack bar is closed Mondays, and the whole family could go.

Mr. and Mrs. Kyburg nodded their heads. They both agreed it was a wonderful idea. Mrs. Kyburg said they should also invite Chris and Bobby Williams. They were twins who moved to Pirates Cove from Boston, Massachusetts, four years ago. They were both in Johnny and Billy's class and were constant companions of the Kyburg twins since they moved here. Their father was transferred from a Boston hospital to be the head surgeon at a state university hospital a few miles from Pirates Cove. Both sets of twins played in a summer baseball league and were looking forward to playing for the Pirates Cove High School JV team in the spring.

It was 8:00 a.m., and it was time to open the snack bar for breakfast.

They all decided to make plans for the party later that night.
