even though we received one "you should be having a lemonade stand in the summer not january" comment, our afternoon was a success. anyone that has kids knows, that when doing a lemonade stand it is truly about the process not the product. we honestly have not even looked to see how much was collected however we had a great time raising it. we started by putting our FREE stand together and then grace made the lemonade. owen baked the cookies (of course) as he is always the designated baker of the house, and wyatt organized the cups, napkins, chairs, and money jars.
after moving out all our supplies, the kids were ready. grace decided the stand needed some decorating so she went to get potted plants, garden props, chalk for pictures, and then even back inside for some pony toy decorations. we had several neighbors pop in, a few walkers slowed for a glass and a cookie, and then a surprise visit from heather, maggie, and hadley! that was the highlight. then the little girl from next door started to bring over baskets of water balloons (well then wagonloads of water balloons) and the lemonade stand was then done.
it was a great time for all!!
