Our version of a lemonade stand

When the kids are bored on a Saturday morning what is more perfect than a lemonade stand?  Three problems with the idea: first, there just aren't that many cars willing to stop on a busy Saturday morning and give kids money for something they don't really want. Second, I am NOT one for making homemade lemonade (time, cost, waste when it doesn't get sold, etc). Third,  Ava would have a hard time exchanging money/giving change. 
  Solution:  a FREE otter-pop stand in our backyard for the golfers!!!  For those of you who don't know, our backyard bumps right up to the golf course:


Ava and Cameron LOVED it, and it's a great way to literally show them and teach them about tithing.  They had a BLAST and actually managed to make $8.50 in tips in about an hour (which is better than what I make when I work every once in a while selling art in Costco).

We even still manage to make a profit after you deduct the cost of the otter-pops that get eaten by the golfers and (most impressively) by my own children.
