The kids had been bugging me to let them sell lemonade out on the street for a while now. We had tried this last year, but it didn't really work, so I wasn't expecting much. We even bought cookies and biscotti to sell in addition to the lemonade. Boy, what a surprise...we probably had 5 to 7 cars stop and most of the neighbors stopped by and bought something. It actually was a lot of fun, as many people that I only occasionally see stopped and talked...it was almost a mini block party. All in all, the three older kids each got $7 and change...not bad at all! Most people did let the kids keep the change, but we sold all 20 cookies and went through two batches of strawberry lemonade. The only problem is that the kids want to do this everyday now!
