Starting summer in style

Twins Breanna and Samantha, 10, and sister Gabby, 7, Bitzer ended the school year in style, with a ride in a stretch H2 Hummer from the school to Dairy Queen.
Their parents, Kathy and Neil Bitzer, didn’t splurge ? the three sisters earned the ride for themselves and 11 of their friends.
They made a deal with family friend Keith Patten before the school year started, in August. Owner of 24/7 Limousine, Patten offered the girls a limo ride at the end of the year, but only if they earn all As. If they didn’t, the deal was that they would have to clean a limo.
The girls never forgot the deal throughout the year, making report-card time much more exciting.
‘It got sillier as the year went on ? it got so they would have to clean limos with toothbrushes,? Kathy said. ‘They always wanted the Hummer.?
