Lemonade

 At the beginning of summer, we made a to-do list for summer activities.  Although we didn't get to everyone item, we accomplished a lot over the three months.  On the last day of summer, Kyle asked to do a lemonade stand.  The grumpy mom in me thought "heck, no! It's 94 degrees and we don't have traffic on our street" but the cool mom in me actually said "sure, why not?!  Let's do this."

 

And, alas, here we were 30 minutes later.  His friend, Blake, joined for the first part of the lemonade stand (we were there 2.5 hours).  I ended up running back home for more cups and three more gallons of lemonade by the time the sale was finished.

 

our neighborhood friends came to support us!

 

They made $77 and had to reimburse the expenses of cups and lemonade!  Kyle was able to earn enough to buy a pair of Nike shorts that we wouldn't buy!  It was a great experience and really showed the boys the kindness of strangers - as well as how to work hard for your money!
