Lemonade Stand

Every season, I have a bucket list in my head of little plans I have for the days to come.  This summer, Ari and I had to limit our bucket list, because of her surgery and rehab (while Gabe and Bella had one a mile long!), but we did not let summer pass us by without a few memory-worthy moments.  Our lemonade stand was the first of them.  The kids and I made fresh squeezed lemonade together from the lemons in their Nana’s backyard.  At 50 cents a cup, they sold out of lemonade in an hour!  Each of the littles had a job.  Gabe poured, Bella served, they both helped collect the money, and Ari sprayed each customer with the garden hose.  Bella was the best at advertising… she worked it like she was at a cheer squad car wash.  I’m still not sure how I feel about that.  Gabe practiced his math skills.  And Ari decided that it was even more fun spraying herself, by the end of the hot hour we were outside in front of the house.
