Bake Sale

Every summer the kids get excited about a bake sale.  We have a standing rule that we can hold one bake sale per summer, and only one.  We invite a bunch of neighbor kids to join us.  The neighbors bring things to sell and we spend the entire day cooking.  The kids make posters and price lists.  We set up the awning and I have to say it is a pretty gourmet bake sale.  I would want to come.

It looked like a great day when we started baking.  It still looked great when we started selling.  The kids got a ton of business.  They were on track to sell everything we had baked.....then a freak summer storm blew in.  In a matter of minutes we were running everything into the garage in the middle of a downpour.  Even with the storm the kids ended up with $9.00 each so they were excited.  Because of the storm there were leftovers and everyone had plenty to eat.  In the end playing in the rain and eating treats were the perfect way to end the bake sale.
