Brenna has requested to have a lemonade stand for a long time. During the school year I assured her that we would have one in the summer. With so much stuff going on during the summer, we were coming down to the wire and still hadn't done it. She got a make-your-own lemonade stand for her birthday. So together we sat down and assembled it and on the Wednesday before school started we had a Lemonade Sale.
It started off with Brenna supervising Matt and Tyler. However the boys didn't last long and ditched the stand to ride bikes up and down the street instead. That's was ok, because Brenna quickly replaced them with Brooke and Bailey and together these three managed all the orders. They even served as car-hops for some of our drive-up customers. We have wonderful neighbors and our stand quickly turned into a block party. At one count we had more than 15 kids running around the yard. Brenna stood strong for over an hour and then even she abandoned it to join the other kids in our back yard. After some good playtime the lemonade flowed freely to the kids and then we closed up shop.
As we counted our money that night, I told Brenna that she did pretty good to make to make $25 dollars on 25 cent lemonade. She said "But most people gave me a $1!" to which I replied "Did you give them back their change?" She said "Oops!" I'm not sure how many of our friends she ripped off!
