Snoasis

Do you remember trying to sell lemonade or punch for 10 cents when you were little? Well...things have progressed a little. McKenna decided to earn money this summer by selling snow cones. She tried lemonade before and she says it doesn't make enough. She's right. So she started with her manual ice shredder, plastic cups and spoons from the kitchen, and only 50 cents a cone. She sold out of all the syrup and all the ice in the house and still had customers. She decided it wasn't a bad gig so we headed to Target the next day to get a new ice shaver, a couple bags of ice, and more syrup. We ended up with the cutest double snow cone maker, cones, a ton of flavors, even snow cone holders and ....wait....even better...do you remember those little plastic animals that came on the side of your ice cream cone? The monkeys were the best because you could use them to eat the ice cream. I used to get them at the A&W in Springville on Sundays with my root beer float. It should also be noted here that I was determined to name my first child, who would be a girl, root beer. McKenna is glad I grew out of that one I'm sure!

OK...back on subject...well, Target dollar aisle has them!! They think you could use them on your martinis so of course, in the heart of Utah, there are tons of them. People...this is a walk down memory lane! I had to buy some for when I have grandkids not just kids! I hope I remember where I put them years from now!


So, with all the fluff and stuff the neighbor said we should raise prices...you know they are new and improved. So...check out the sign! This is before she added a snow cone pass that costs $5.00 but you get all the snow cones you want for 2 whole days! She has taken a break for a couple of days but she has raked in the dough! I think I may need to get a job out in my front yard! It would have it's perks...free snow cones!!
