Our summer is always busy thanks to Michelle's cotton candy business, Tasty Treats. Sometimes the fairs are pretty boring. But this one was really fun for the kids and the pocketbook. This is Orem Summerfest. We played at the park, learned about fire safety, watched High School Musical performances, and sold a ton of cotton candy.
Thanks Jill and Durrant for taking them on Saturday afternoon. The kids went to Chuckie Cheese and swam for 5 hours. They all fell in love with Uncle Durrant. He played catch with them for hours on end. Thanks again. 
The kids came back just in time to be put to work. Who knew how busy we would get. We had a line for over 5 hours. So each person had a station. Mom made the cotton candy, Dad made the carmel apples, Kaylee got the drinks, and Justin was the money man. We couldn't have done it without the kids help. We ran out of everything, soda, water, sugar, apples. If we didn't we would have made even more $. As it was, we made a profit of $2000.
The kids actually like to help, "work". We pay them some money (or buy them toys at the fair). In a few more years, they will be the full time workers.
Since then, we have done 2 other fairs. Not nearly as successful. Oh well, you win some you lose some.
