Anyway, back to the lemonade stand. We received a kit for the Lemon:Aid program in the spring and Ella has loved using it. I had to laminate our second sign, because the first one was a victim of sticky lemonade fingers. Ella is an excellent saleswoman. She has recruited helpers. This is Eva helping in the summer.
Then, Jack has helped multiple times. But, Ella is also happy to man the stand by herself.
The last time we were in Florida, we could not get small cups. This meant that Ella only had the $1 size of lemonade available. Ella spent about 3 hours singing her lemonade song and running in for refills. Toward the end, two men pulled up in a golf cart. The man in the passenger seat leaned out and asked, "How much is the lemonade?" Ella informed him that it was $1. He asked, "Isn't that a little expensive?" Ella looked right at him and firmly said, "I'm trying to build wells in Africa, here." The man in the drivers seat replied, "We'll take two." That's my girl!
