Lemonade Stand

Ice Cold Lemonade... Who wants some Ice Cold Lemonade...

O.K. so I finally gave in to my kids asking several times every year if they can sale something in the front yard. It has ranged from, homemade books written and illustrated by my kids, painted rocks, cut out hearts, old toys they don't want anymore, to lemonade and cookies. I finally gave in to the lemonade, fruity pebble krispies, and cookies. We found this little stand at the D.I. and the kids just had to have it.  We set up the stand in the afternoon around 2:00 and the kids stayed outside all day until 8:30 PM (except we made them come in and eat dinner). Alyssa and Shane were very creative on ways to get costumers. Alyssa rode her bike up and down the side of the road yelling (although she doesn't need to yell her voice is loud enough as it is) Lemonade for Sale, and Shane made a huge poster and held it up while he danced around with it like the Little Ceaser Pizza guys on the side of the road.  Thanks to wonderful friends and neighbors and some big tippers, the two of them came up with just over $22.00. They spilt it in half, and have counted their money over and over. I can't wait to see what they get with all their hard earned money.  We did warn them that they can't do this all the time. Maybe once or twice a summer.
