We have seen a few lemonade stands around the neighborhood this summer. Alli has been fascinated with them. She notes what type of beverage they are selling, if they have cookies, how they decorate their table, etc. Most of all, she is interested in what those kids do with ALL that money!!?!
We had a big box leftover from the bathroom vanity, so we fixed it up to be an awesome lemonade stand. Alli and her friend Elijah helped decorate the box with stickers and drawing (I helped a bit with the lettering and lemon). They helped make the lemonade (it was supposed to be pink, but a little too much help turned it red). They set up shop on the sidewalk and shouted "lemonade for sale" to anyone within earshot.
They made $2.50. They were thrilled! They have big plans for a trip to Dairy Queen.
Alli wants to set up shop again. This time she wants to put it on another street where there are more thirsty people. She is working on her business plan already... maybe next summer she will franchise.

Thank goodness for mom's cutting skills!
How sweet! I wish we were there... I'm thirsty just thinking about it! Every kid needs to do a lemonade stand at least once! That box worked great... they look professional (as professional as a kiddie lemonade stand gets).
looks like a scene out of Peanuts cartoon. perhaps in the future she will expand to psychiatric advice as well :)

She should set up by our house...the kids at the playground go crazy everytime someone selling something stops by.
