Summer Time Refreshments!

Ahhhh, good ole summer time! August brings in the dog days of summer where the heat in Florida is just about too hot to tolerate. So hot that when you step outside your lungs feel like they have caught on fire. Thankfully, kids like Kendall remember what else summer is great for - Lemon-aid stands! This longtime tradition has stood the test of time and comes back every summer all over America, giving us adults cool beverages to sip on and teaches our kids the importance of entrepreneurship.
Ok, well at the very least it gives the kids something to do for an afternoon and a chance to earn some money for something they'd like to have. (and it gets them away from t.v and video games) In case you missed it, this past weekend, little Kendall set up shop on her parents front lawn  to raise money for a much desired scooter! I'm not sure how much she ended up earning, I believe the rain clouds got the best of her business after about an hour, but she did have plenty of customers.
 Many neighbors stopped on their way home from Sunday afternoon shopping and some stopped for a cool drink while walking the dogs. I don't know about you, but I'm hoping to see this lemon-aid stand a couple more times before school starts!
