Kate’s First Lemonade Stand
Even though it’s officially fall, it’s still warm enough here in LA to have a lemonade stand. Every kid should have a lemonade stand. At five years old, this was Kate’s first.

Her friends from across the street came over to help.

Here they are putting up the signs. I was so proud of them. They did everything!
Except the actual making of the lemonade. I helped them with that. We used organic lemons, organic strawberries (from our CSA box), filtered water, and liquid stevia.

Don’t you just love the “Plus Pink”? And the umbrella?

And yes, she bought some lemonade. How could she not? The cuteness was overwhelming.

All in all, it was a smashing success. They made almost $4.00 and pocketed over $1 each.
There’s nothing as inspiring as budding entrepreneurs.
