Get Your Ice Cold Lemonade!

So here I am, getting the mail, minding my own business, when I hear a car drive by, followed by shouts of "LEMONADE! 25 CENTS A CUP!"
This can only mean one thing. I look down at the street corner of the third nearest cul-de-sac and see kids waving signs and screaming like crazy next to a table. A lemonade stand!

This was the scenario last Saturday, and I hopped on my scooter to check it out. Turns out, my friend S and some other girls were holding a stand- and after a ride around the block, there were 25 cent cookies too. Mom let me go over for a while, and after distributing origami fans all around, I was soon appointed to "patrol the streets." Translation: I was the one who yelled "CAR!" when someone drove near. I was even able to get a van from some company to pull over. I'd also tell people about our stand, too- an action that made one man buy so many cookies, we only had one left!

When there was a lack of customers, we'd run to a trampoline in the front yard, jump on it, and try to grab the nearest tree branch. It was fun- and it helped pass the time. S also told me about a remarkable feat they'd accomplished- getting the nieghborhood UPS truck to buy some lemonade. WOW!

The lemonade stand was a success! We made about $11 and hope to make some more sales soon- at the fall yard sale, perhaps? :^)
