Age vs. Aged
Summer, a gorgeous woman, age 26, appears behind Matt.
He told us about the time he and his brother, then aged 10 and 12, watched from the window as their father waved goodbye to them for the last time.
Are both of these sentences correct in their use of "age" and "aged"? Is there a way of knowing when to use one or the other, or are they interchangeable in such a context? I don't know why, but "aged" seems wrong to me in the first one.
Thanks.

My experience is that they are interchangeable, two structural ways to say the same thing.
