Being that it was Spring Break the kids had tons of time to spend playing with their friends. We are lucky to live in a little neighborhood with tons of kids that are Chloe's age and younger. And even though Chloe's BFF, Brydee, moved away to another part of town she is usually around to join in on the fun. The weather was so nice so the kids spent a lot of time outside! I just let them do their thing-they don't really require constant parental supervision at this age so it is nice. They are always coming up with things to do-making up games, making up plays and skits, etc. Well I wasn't paying much attention as they were busily working on a project, until Chloe came in and announced that they had their first customer. Okay?! Apparently they had made signs and set up a car wash. HAHA They were going to raise money for an animal shelter, but then instead decided to raise some money and go do something fun with it. They worked hard for two days and washed almost all of the cars on our little section of street, by then end of it they had earned $59 dollars.
So Thursday they decided to go to Fiesta Fun with their profits. For what they earned they were able to rent a bowling lane and get shoes for all of them. It was cool cause the bowling lane was in a private room with a couch and comfy chairs-they had a blast!!!
We played a few arcade games after bowling. Bryce thought the games were fun. He was a little confused with the tickets and tokens and didn't understand why we couldn't keep playing even when his tokens were all gone. He was happy at the end though when he was able to trade them in for some tootsie rolls-which are one of his favorite treats.
Fun Day-Great Way to End Spring Break!!! Also great lesson for the kids on how hard work can pay off.
