Time for Lemonade :)

Raspberry Lemonade that is! The kids have been begging me all week to go out and have a lemonade stand of their very own, so I told them that if they got all of their chores done on time this morning, we would have a lemonade stand of our very own once daddy got home from work. They were so excited! We made our lemonade in the morning so it would be nice and cold by this evening, made our sign and gathered up everything we would need for the perfect lemonade stand.

We decided to do it on the street right where our neighborhood park is, since there is a little more traffic there, instead of our own street. The kids were a little bit discouraged at first, but after about the first 15 minutes or so, they had a very popular little business going! They also figured out that if they started making eye contact and waving at each car as they passed by, the cars were MUCH more likely to stop and buy some refreshing lemonade!

After about an hour, they had made a whopping grand total of $10 and were out of a huge pitcher of lemonade....quite a success!
