Summer Jobs

Corner lemonade stands, mowing the neighbors' lawns, weekend car washes; kids just trying to make a few bucks for the summer. Do you remember what some of your summer jobs were? Some of my favorite memories are working at Mickey D's during the summer months. The town I grew up in was a thoroughfare to the beach. During the summer was always busy. And it usually meant out-of-towners, which meant a whole new batch of guys to flirt with. So much fun.

I don't know if Katelyn and Carson will remember their summer jobs as fondly, but for the past few years they sure have been hard workers during the summer. There was their 3 year run as "farmers" selling produce at the farmer's market

A job which brought in a good profit for them, but that they decided was "too much work".

So in an effort to avoid so much work, they both chose not to do a booth this year. Nope, instead they opted for these summer jobs:

Bucking hay (see haystack photo above)

Building a deck And helping Grandma Whiting organize her sewing room (Katelyn needed a few more $'s than Carson because of cell phone expenses) My hat goes off to them both for doing such great work. They haven't indicated any regret in giving up the farmer's market, but to me, it seems like they have worked a lot harder this summer.
