Lemonade Stand

Cetera read a book this summer called "Alex and the Lemonade Stand". It's about a little girl with cancer, who wanted to help other kids with cancer, so she started a lemonade stand. She donated the profits to her hospital to benefit others. Cetera was very impressed and asked us if she could do the same. What's a parent to say to that? OF COURSE. But unfortunately, cuz we are lame, she had to ask us many more times, and finally we helped her do it. Here's the little salesmonkeys outside, ready with their pitcher and cups. Weeze sampled the product a little here, and a little there, and then a little more. Bubbers had test it as well. They deemed it marketable.
Dad was the first customer, and then two other lucky passers-by.
Bubbers learned how to give change, and what made 20 cents. They also learned that lots of lemonade on a hot day can make your belly hurt. The little business women made 90 cents that day. Cetera asked if we could mail it to the hospital. Again, what do you say? They were so proud of their efforts, and so were we.
