Can you figure this out?

3 brothers go to a hotel. To save money they decide to share a room and equally split the cost. The hotel manager tells them that the total cost of the room is $30. Each brother pays $10. They get their key and go to the room. A short while later the hotel manager realizes that the total cost of the room was not $30 but was only $25. The hotel manager gives a $5 bill to the bellboy and sends him to the brothers’ room to give the refund. The bellboy not knowing how to divide a $5 bill between 3 brothers decided it would be easier to give each brother $1 each and just keep the extra $2 for himself. So when he arrived at the room he gave each $1. This made it so each brother then only paid $9 ($10 minus the $1 refund) each for the room.
So if each of the 3 brothers paid $9 that is $27 total. The bellboy kept $2 for himself. This is a total of $29. The 3 brothers initially paid $30.
Where is the missing dollar?

I love the Fair!!

Friday we went to the Wichita Fair. I have not been to a fair in a long time. We had a lot of fun.Kevin, Nathan and Miranda are feeding the animals.
MY BOYS!! Braeden is making a funny face because his alergies started going crazy, Nathan is patiently waiting his turn to ride a ride.

Miranda was ready to get off that ride.


Mommy and Braeden. This was the fun house. At the end there was a slide; when it was his turn to go down he started flipping head over heels all the way down the slide.
