Young Entrepreneurs

By all accounts, the farm sale was a success.  The boys had a great time and sold a lot of hot cocoa, cupcakes and snowmen.

One of the best things about the fair was the behind the table bartering that happened between all the young entrepreneurs - cupcakes, cocoa & snowmen were traded for fleece headbands, felt acorns, hemp bracelets, rice krispie treats, hand-sewn bird ornaments, painted note cards and candles.

I love Levi's sign, he decided to make his words "fancy".  I think he might share a love of cursive writing with his mother.

The fair took place in a heated greenhouse.  It was very cozy, which may have hurt Levi's hot cocoa sales just a bit.

Arlo seemed to enjoy the day too.  As usual he was very popular, here is a shot of him with his very good friend Ridley:

Both Silas & Levi are anxious for future business opportunities.  Silas said he likes selling cupcakes, for now, but might want to try selling bigger & better things next!
