First Lemonade Stand

For Labor Day we decided to help the kids have their very first Lemonade Stand! The timing was perfect as we had just developed a family allowance system a few days prior. 

First up was squeezing out the juice from some fresh lemons to help supplement the lemonade.

Then the kids made their own homemade signs to help bring in customers. They really got into it, writing it all on their own and drawing lemons on their signs.

All set up and ready to go!

Now it was time to bring in the customers! It was such a great opportunity to teach the kids about sales, money and dealing with success and disappointment.

The kids were so excited each time somebody stopped. They would all run to get the lemonade or run to greet the customer and collect the money so it took some guidance from Keith and I to help the kids balance out their tasks.

Ahhh, with their hard work done, it was time to enjoy their own refreshing glass of lemonade. Cheers!
