Bontrager Family Reunion

These are the 8 "original" Bontrager children, in order of age.  Can anyone guess which two are the twins?  (if you know the family you may not guess)
Grandma with the 36 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren
All 61 of the Bontrager Tribe!  Don't we look like a huge, noisy bunch?! (we are.....)

How thankful I am for a godly heritage and the blessing of a grandma who loves the Lord, loves her children and grandchildren, and is the world's best cook!  I am also so thankful for the dear grandpa that I never knew who loved Jesus and his family and I look forward to meeting him in heaven someday.  How rich is the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord!

Hey Bontragers!

Are the twins the two men after Marlin?

I noticed that Marlin is the only one of his siblings wearing shoes and not sandals, a true farmer!

Psalm 133:1
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!

Um......tough!!! My guess would be the two on the far left of the picture. Or the 2 to the right of Marlin.
It'll be fun to see the answer!! :)
