Bug and the S family decided to have a garage sale fundraiser for their upcoming mission trip! The younger girls have begged me to have a lemonade stand for years so I knew this would be a great opportunity! They made the sign and we made a bunch of treats to sell.
Garage sales are a lot of work! It took us about six hours to set it all up. Thankfully the church had given us the leftovers from their own garage sale a few months ago so we had plenty to sell!
They were SO excited to open their lemonade stand!
And they actually sold quite a bit of lemonade and the majority of the treats!
Noni and Papa came to help out at the sale even though it was their anniversary.
Unfortunately we had some smoke roll in from wildfires and the air was horrible that day!
But it didn't stop lots of people from coming to the sale! Goofball Lou.
They lasted about an hour before they realized that having a lemonade stand is not very exciting. Haha. Then they gave up and started playing with garage sale items. You can see them and their friend E on the table.
Peaches took this picture of the cat of the lady who's house we were at.
This dinosaur had been in the garage sale pile a few months before and Lou and Peaches have had a ball with him. The morning of the sale I told them it was time for him to go back in the pile. They started crying and brought me some of their own money to buy him so they could keep him. I don't know what it is about this little guy but they love him. Maybe a love of T-Rex is genetic. Haha! I still think they are so funny and it makes me smile to see "Rexi" around the house.
And in other news...they raised almost $1000 towards their mission trip! Whoo hoo! We were also able to give two truckloads of stuff to a lady who stopped to buy some things for the local fire victims so that was really nice! The rest we loaded up and took to Goodwill. We sure were tired but I'd say it was a big success!
