Lemonade for Sale - Build a Water Well!

We made $80 at our lemonade stand this morning! Can you believe it?!? We had a blast. People were SOOO generous. We're thinking it had something to do with the cuteness of the kids because people were willing to give even before they knew why! When people would ask how much for a cup of lemonade, one of the girls would say, "One dollar, but you can pay more if you want to." Ha ha. And, many of them did. One man brought us his change jar from home!!

This was such an awesome day! I HIGHLY encourage you to give it a go in your neighborhood. (And, if you do please leave a comment - we would love to hear about your success.) We are planning to do nine more weeks, with our grand finale on the day of our huge neighborhood yard sale. Here's how we did it....

First, we watched the video about Dollar for a Drink so the kids would understand the information if our customers asked.















Then, we added the lemonade mix, water and ice.















We squeezed some REAL lemons into the lemonade to make it extra tasty!















The kids stood out with a sign and had a cheer, "Lemonade for Sale - Build a Water Well." Zach had a short speech prepared that he said to every costumer who would listen. : ) Next week, we are going to print stickers to put on the cups with the DfaD website and have postcards to hand out with additional info





































We counted the money and celebrated! After we found out the total, one of the girls said, "Now THAT was worth it!" Mission accomplished.
