A Garage Sale and Strawberry Lemonade

Last weekend, my friend Alex and I had a sleepover. We were talking about how her birthday was going to work out at Disneyland and how I might not be able to come. I needed to earn some money before her birthday (which was soon) so I could buy an annual pass! We were running out of time!! Her birthday was soon and I NEEDED money! Then, at 1:00 in the morning we FINALLY thought of something. We were going to set up a garage sale and make lots of dough (money). We found all the junk from our room and house until we were sooo tired. That morning (Saturday), I woke Alex from my sister's bed and we set out a sheet out front on my driveway. Then, we set out all of our junk, and...we were ready freddy!!!



We sold a BUNCH of stuff at the garage sale and made $31.00!! Then, we had a CRAZY idea to make strawberry lemonade. We set up the lemonade stand and NOBODY was coming. They all just drove by... they waved...but just drove by with a little smirk on their face. Alex and I were getting bored. Car by car drove by and we dreamed of the money each one would bring but never did. We then had a really brilliant idea (my mom's idea) that we should walk around the neighborhood with a rolling cooler and a big thermos. We did a portable Strawberry Lemonade stand and made $19.00. We were satisfied with our progress and made $50 in all! Pretty good for some kids like us. We needed $130.oo to buy a Disneyland pass and we were on our way.
