While I was at the cabin, Heidi and Adam sent a pic of the kids selling lemonade and cookies.  They had a small table with 2 posters in neon yellow and pink.  The posters said LEMONADE 50c and COOKIES 50c.

Here’s the dialogue that followed in our family chat:

Adam: These kids are making more than a resident physician per hour.  (1:06 p.m.)

Adam:  (2:19 p.m.)  OK, we have finished selling.  I want everyone to guess how much the kids made. .50 per cup lemonade, .50 per cookie.  1.5 hours of business

John: Did they sell out? $20.  I wish I had both right now!!

Aaron: $21

Claire: $71

Heidi 3 dozen cookies.  3-4 gallons of lemonade.

Graham: I bet they would have sold more if they had their team Jesus shirts on [from their Lutheran pre-school]

Aaron: Oh I thought the only cookies were the ones in the picture

Heidi: That is about 3 dozen in the pic

Adam: Should we wait for Abbey and Grann to guess?

Heidi: The other deceiving thing about this pic is that is makes you think all three kids were engaged the whole hour+.  Very much not the case.

Abbey: $45

Aaron: I’m upping my vote to $50 with the new info

John: GrAnn is at the cabin with no internet

Adam: drum roll emoji  $77.75

Claire: So most people paid $1-2?  Or did a couple people pay $5+

Heidi: The highest bill they got was a $10.  I think the man got $1 worth of stuff.  Several other decent tips with $5 bills.

Adam: I was BLOWN AWAY by how much they made.

Claire: So did they split it equally?

Heidi: Nah.  Clark got $50.  The girls split the rest.

Adam: No, Clark by far did the most work.  He was very good and worked hard.  He got $50.  Jos got $20.  Marg doesn’t even care but got the rest.

John: Awesome!  Are they paying the house for ingredients?  Perfect opportunity to teach the principle of tithing!!

Abbey: And net profit.

Heidi: Ingredients were donated by mom and dad.  Tithes will be paid but taxes will not.  Don’t call the IRS.

John: Excellent arrangement.

Adam: We used 1/3 container of Walmart brand lemonade mix which cost $7.
