Okay...so we have had a road crew going past our house because they are repaving our road. Tristin (well actually Keith first) got the idea to set up a lemonade stand to make a little money. Well talk about making some money and Tristin is all over it! So he worked on making his signs. He also had the great idea of making some posters to advertise and when it was break time to ride his bike down there and pass them out to all the workers. Mom and Dad said no, but it was a good idea. So we get everything set up and everyone joined in out by the driveway yelling "Lemonade! Lemonade! Lemonade! to everyone passing by. And when I say everyone I mean EVERYONE! It was so funny. Keith said if we ever needed to sell a car all we would have to do is pull it out by the road and set the kids out there by it. It would be sold the first day. I really thought that after a few hours they would fizzle out...but they were out there all afternoon! It was great fun and a team effort. Well the first day he did pretty good, I think he made like $12. We had neighbors, friends, a man on a bicycle, and a few people stop in their cars. Tristin was pleased. So wouldn't you know it...first thing the next morning...he's ready to set up shop. I got him to wait until after lunch and business was rolling in once again. Towards the end of the second day, the road crew finally made it down to our house. It was funny to see that most of the trucks were lined up on our side of the road leaving the traffic down to one lane and the road crew standing in our driveway sipping their ice cold lemonade! It was a great time and a fun memory! Oh and Tristin ended up making a total of $36.00!!
