Buccaneer Bazaar

Dylan and his best friend Parker decided to get their business licence and have a cotton candy stand at their school's Buccaneer Bazaar!! At Bloomington Elementary students can earn Buccaneer Bucks by doing their homework, doing kind things, etc. They have several bazaar's throughout the year, but the first one is for friends and family. It is a lot of fun and also a lot of work. This is the first time we have done a business, but the reward was worth it. The business was called Dylan and Parker's Cotton Candy Blast-off, but it should have been called Lindsey and Brooke's Cotton Candy blast-off. Brooke and I had a funny vision that we would just get to sit back and relax while the boys did their thing, but much to our surprise we ended up having to make all the Cotton Candy. I think we were the most popular booth. There was a line the entire time we were there. It was so crazy. We were sweaty and sticky and sometimes felt like our arms were going to fall off! It was a huge success and the boys earned $1100 bucks!! Go boys!!(one day they will really appreciate all the hard work that went into this business) yeah right!!

Notice in the bottom right hand corner. It says 1 for 5 bucks or 2 for 10!! Our boys really know their math!!!

We would make the candy and the boys would collect the money
