Buy our lemonade!!

It was a 5 star day for our Bake sale at a nearby park (I wish our street had a lake on it...but that's for another blog). Joel rode around on his trike with a sign on the back until he got tired of his wheels getting stuck in the grass. Jamie stayed behind, for the most part, to man the stand or eat muffins, depending on your point of view. I think he had the best job.

So, Joel has the best sales strategy one could have. He walks right up to a perfectly content stranger who is soaking up the sun or watching kids playing in the lake and holds his sign up to her and waits for a response. At this point, a decision must be made. "Do I tell this kid to beat it?" or what? Because he is a patient fellow and a man of few words when he is put to task, he stands firm until this poor stranger is utterly convinced that he has been sent here to show her the way to lemonade heaven.

He really brought in the customers from all around the park. I dare say he stood out possessing a real gift for salesmanship. I don't really want to think about the long-term prospects and will continue to push the pilot/musician route. But, for today, it was really fun to see him shine.
