Monday we held our traditional lemonade stand. We have had one a year since we moved into the house 4 years ago. Luckily we live on a main street and have lots of nice people in the neighborhood that stop.
It was a slow start but business picked up. Lisa stopped by with Ellie and Gavin and Ellie was having so much fun helping that she stayed for 4 hours and helped drum up business. I should have taken pictures of the kids jumping and waving at every car that passed!
Our favorite customers were: The mail carrier who stopped by twice and got lemonade and cookies and a contractor that came by two or three times buying cookies and lemonade. Our best customer (and all time-favorite) was a college age kid that came by 3 times buying cookies, brownies and lemonade. He said the lemonade was so good he paid the kids extra to fill up a large cup he brought with him. He also asked when the kids would be having another lemonade stand! All in all he paid the kids about $10!
Overall the kids earned $25--not bad for four hours of work!
