The day of the Lemonade stand turned out to be gorgeous! Blue Sky, light breeze and more importantly, Piping HOT! We dragged our coffee table out into the driveway, the kids made some signs, we squeezed lemons and limes, slathered on the sun screen and gave the people what they wanted: Lemonade and Cup Cakes!!!!
We had SUCH a great turn out!!! All of our neighbors came by and of course all the kids parents and then some 'drive-bys' that pulled over and became customers. We kept the cup cakes in the fridge in the garage so they didn't melt all over the place and just had little 'runners' to go and grab a few out at a time....although the first couple of times they went to grab one, the cup cakes somehow ended up having nice big ole bites out of them by the time they made it back to the table! LOL So we did have ANOTHER talk about not eating or licking the cup cakes!
And just as we were about to close up shop....guess who drove up?? Papa Steve!!!! (with no money!) We let him have a cup cake anyways :) Sawyer was so surprised!! It was actually nice that Papa came right towards the end so that we could just sit and chat a bit.
The kids had such a fun afternoon and they actually made a little over $45.00!!!
I'd venture to say that we were are the most successful stand in the neighborhood!
