Watermelons!

On the Fourth of July, the girls decided to do something American...

they opened a business.

Papa had gotten watermelons at a farm for 50 cents a piece, and the girls were determined to make some money!  It was a HOT day, but they braved the heat and set up in the driveway...

Notice their cute red, white, and blue shirts!

Then there was the advertising...

In addition to the lovely signs, they called some folks they knew and went around the neighborhood letting people know about the sale.

At the end of the day, they had made over $11 each, and we even had some yummy summer watermelons left over to enjoy!

Abby LOVES her watermelon!

Shelby has a more dignified way to eat it!  :)

Emily just digs right into hers!

Here's to the American entrepreneurial spirit!
