After dancing in a southern style rain storm the kids got right to work making chocolate chip cookies and Javen put together a sign for the table.
A Lemonade & Cookies sign that is! They had been asking me for 2 days now if they could put together a lemonade stand so I let them do just that today.
Before I took them to the store to get the stuff I told the girls they needed to make a list of everything they needed and I also wanted to know what they wanted to do with the money they made. They decided they wanted to give the money to a charity.
The girls stayed out there for about 3 hours. It was hot and humid but they didn't care. They sat in the shade until they saw a car, then they would get up and jump up and down with the same excitement every time. The smiles on their face when someone stopped was priceless.
I had talked to Abriella last week about how there are places in Africa that do not have clean water and people get very sick. Well, during the preparations they must have talked about that and decided they wanted to give the money to a charity that helped get clean water to Africa. They earned $28 and they are so excited to send it away!
After a while the boys joined them with cups of water in hand to pour on them. It was a much needed water fight to cool everyone off.

looks like fun. Tarrah, I saw a simulcast of a pastor named Steven Furtick, of a church in Charlotte NC and recently wrote a book Sun Stand Still- Just thought you might be interested.
