Summer in Breck

I've gotten a little lazy with this post and added a slide show of our trip to Breckenridge. (If an ad pops up at the bottom of the slide show you can close it.) Colorado is almost better in the summer. When I was a kid and we went on vacations we would drive to Elk City and stay at the Holidome. We would swim and play miniature golf and we thought we were so lucky. We had no idea places like this even existed.

Tomatoes for Sale!

Somehow when we were planning our summer garden Reid threw out the idea to sell our extra vegetables and give the money to the poor. If I didn't roll with this I figured I was going straight to hell.I jumped on board and now we have close to 40 tomato plants, 8 red and yellow bell pepper plants, and some herbs. My dad is beating us so far in the actual production of tomatoes so we have been selling his overstock. We are up to $49 which we be given to St. Vincent de Paul Society when the harvest is over. We like to use real farming words like 'harvest' to fool us into thinking we are on a real farm.
Today we moved our stand to Wilshire for some new customers and the cars were all stopping. At one time the kids had four customers at once. I think their new farmer look helps sales.
How could you resist? A pint sized farmer and home grown tomatoes for $1!
