Lemonade

Today, Jack and our neighbors decided that they wanted to have a lemonade stand. They made their own lemonade, and put together everything that they needed into a wagon and walked the two streets in our section of the sub-division. When I asked what they were raising money for, they told me "dogs in need." I gave them a walkie talkie, and they were off. It was so sweet to hear them call me on the walkie talkie and excitedly tell me about their sales! They were quite successful, and raised $9 (for only 50 cent glasses, they did pretty good!).
To celebrate, we are going to go to the local animal shelter and donate the $9, along with some old towels and leashes that might be used there. I made sure that they understand we will not be leaving there with an animal, but can see what the shelter is like and take a look at what kinds of things they do there to help the animals. It will be hard not to bring one home!
