Well, we rose quite early this morning, 5:30 to be exact, and headed down the shore!
We had loaded the van last night and it was full to the top. There was not a single free space in there! Luckily, by the time we got to Uncle Geoff and Aunt Jen's house it had already rained and we were able to set up "shop" pretty quickly and easily!

We unloaded the car and within minutes we had customers! We had a few moments of downtime during the day but overall we had a pretty steady customer flow. We made it to about 1:30 before the rain came back and disturbed us. It was ok, we had sold quite a bit of stuff and it was time for lunch, anyway!
Pat, the kids, and I got rid of quite a bit of our "junk" and came back with an almost empty car and pretty full pockets!!
In addition to all of the selling we got to spend the day with Aunt Jen, her mom Millie, and a few friends. Uncle Geoff was on call but did manage to come home for a bit and eat with us and help us clean up. He also took Nicholas on a tour of his supervisor truck and even took him for a ride! I think that was the highlight of Nicholas' day!!

He even got to run the lights!

We got very pictures of the actual garage sale because I forgot I had the camera until it was time for Nicholas to test out the paramedic truck. That was right around the same time that the rain started and lunch came out! I would have liked to have taken a before and after shot because it was a wonderful sight to see all of our stuff disappear!!
Thanks for a great day Aunt Jen & Tommy....and Uncle Geoff, too!

Looks like we have another future paramedic in our midst! Thanks for coming, I only wish we could've had some more time before the rain came. You did better than I did with the pix, I didn't take a one :)
