V Gets A Lesson in Marketing

The sun came out and it felt like summer today! The girls (V & Emma) asked if they could put up a lemonade stand. We said sure, but pointed out that there were only a couple neighbors home in our cul-de-sac and maybe we should do it on a day when they will have more customers. They were unswayed and were happy to just sell to a couple neighbors and hopefully get 25¢ out of their younger siblings. 

Never underestimate these smart girls. 

They made signs, recruited more kids—as salesman, and asked permission to walk as a group around the street behind ours with a banner they had made advertising their stand. 

Within minutes there were cars and walkers headed down our street. Their 25¢ lemonade stand made them $10.
