Ella's Lemonade Stand

Ella has been asking me to do a Lemonade Stand nearly every day since April. For months I've been telling her that we can't do it until it's summertime. Today's high was 90; that excuse wasn't flying anymore. So we did it. On our very quiet street. After about 10 minutes of no "customers" Ella and Avery realized their problem: they didn't have a sign that said "Open." So they made one and let me tell you, things picked up from there.  Our customers totalled 5: me, the construction worker I paid off to come buy some, a girl driving by, a neighbor I texted and asked to come over and Danielle. 10 cents a glass--she made about $2. She paid me about 50 cents for supplies (after an econ 001 lesson from her dad), so she netted enough for a healthy trip to the dollar store.

She is looking more like you in these photos. How cute! And I had no idea the grocery store turned into a lemonade stand. Brilliant!
