When we first started talking about buying our current house (we lived across the street at the time) I fantasized about opening the anti-lemonade stand, a hot cocoa stand. See, the city park across the street has a wicked sledding hill that attracts dozens of families most weekends in the winter. What a great way to keep our kids outdoors in the winter. Last winter we opened the stand two times and the kids helped, but were not that enthusiastic about it. This year Ava was a great little shop owner. She donned her typical dress with tights and threw on a housecoat under her coat. She helped design the sign for the stand and asked customers if they would like home of her Daddy's homemade marshmallows in their hot cocoa. Dane's contribution? He drank up the profits. This year we added a fire for sledders to warm up by. It was a huge hit. Each kid banked $8.00 for their college funds in about two hours :)
