Lemonade Day...and a Freebie...

last Friday our school participated in "Lemonade Day", the charter for the school is business so they had to create a stand, choose a product and run the whole thing...My daughter and her friend chose "Up" for their design..

 My son who was home from College helped me make the house, it's 6 ft wide and over 8 ft tall...Not counting the balloons...

Wilderness explorers Candy sticks...

Besides lemonade we had a 6ft tall "Kevin" and small chocolates wrapped as "kevin bait" in case you want to catch a "Kevin of your own. Also had suckers with marking on the bottom to win your own baby kevin to take home...

With Lemonade Day and Fieldtrips and Soccer and Dance behind me for a while it's time for a freebie...
