We have always wanted to go to the air show at Hill Airforce Base but never have made it. This year we decided to try it. On a whim, Josh bought a bunch of earplugs and told the kids that it might be a good place to make some money selling them. That's what you get when you have a dad for a salesman! Anyway they jumped all over the idea and came up with a price and made posters and all. So as the crowds of people were waiting in line to get in, our kids walked up and down the isles selling ear plugs. They got braver and braver as time went on and when the F-22 jets started to fly, business soared! They were selling like hot cakes. The kids were persistent and kept at it until the crowds were mostly gone and then we went inside for a while to watch the show. After it was all over the kids couldn't wait to count their money and see how much they had earned. We pulled it all out and counted - $236!!! What!!! They divided it up between them and paid us back for the cost of the earplugs then started dreaming about how they were going to spend their fortune!
The next day the boys were off to the sunglasses shop to buy their own "Goodr" sunglasses. They have been wanting a pair of their own and now have the chance to actually get some. Such a great day for these kiddos and their hard work paid off for sure!
