Summer Bucket List: Lemonade Stand

One of the things the boys added to our summer bucket list this year was to have a lemonade stand.  To be honest I was not really looking forward to this one.  Luckily our friends the Fitz's invited us to join them with a stand.  It was an awfully hot day but the kids still did pretty well.  We sold popcorn, cookies (which William made all by himself), lemonade, and a lemonade slush.

We had enough leftover cookies and popcorn that the boys decided to do another stand the next afternoon.  William and James hung signs outside of our neighborhood and then met us after we set up.  Since we were a little bit off the road they had Henry go wave a sign as cars drove into the neighborhood... because he's cute and no one can resist him.

We stayed out for quite a while... and it was H O T!!!  But we had a few customers so it was worth it.

Luckily we chose a place with shade so Lydia and I didn't melt out there.

When we were all done we cleaned up and made some "lemonade floats" with our left over lemonade.  It was delicious.

And in the end... it wasn't as much work as I thought it might be.  I think we'll try again next summer!
