I thought it would be a good year to help the girls with their very first lemonade stand. We started by buying lots and lots of lemons!
The day of, the girls got dressed in their lemon dresses and helped me make the lemonade!
They started by taking the stickers off the lemons.
And then they both took turns squeezing the lemons. Morgan was a really big help with this. In hindsight, it would have been much better if we had made the lemonade the day before and let it chill. I'll remember that for next year.
Ta-duh!
Daniel especially loved the backwards one on the poster the girls made all by themselves.
I forgot to put fresh lemon slices in the dispenser! And ice would have been a nice addition too. Next year!
We ended up having 11 or 12 customers. Having the stand forced us to be outside on this really hot day which led to a lot of summer fun in the sun!
The activities were endless! The girls played on the sidewalk with chalk, Morgan walked the neighbor's dog, Charlotte collected sticks and flowers, etc. etc.!
Bubbles!
Pretty soon my front yard was full of kids running around playing with chalk, bubbles, bikes, and scooters!
Our VIP customer of the day is when Daniel stopped in for a purchase during his lunch break.
Look how excited they were!
I'm already excited for next year!
