Hi Family and Friends,
We just
got back from a week long stay in Alpena, Michigan. The kids had a blast in the water, by the water, and at the county fair.
I celebrated my 40th with a homemade carrot cake, decorated with day lilies and daisies right out of grandma's garden. The children had a chance to play with some new friends..Owen a
nd Sophie...can you believe their great grandparents also used to play together too? The kids put their entrepreneurial skills to work and sold minnows and lemonade for 25c on U.S. 23. They earned $5.25. Gordon's Bait comes to the Blair Street Pier, and were kind enough to share some of the daily catch with the kids. Of course, they had no idea they would soon be competing for customers! The venture was not without business problems including, alleged embezzlement (Aaron took 75c before the spoils were divided), fraud (dead minnows), and injury (a picked scab?) but in the end, all profits were divided, claims were settled and the kids had lots of fun! (Grandparents and parents too!) Like chocolate and peanut butter, minnows and lemonade are certainly a great combination.
