what to do when life gives you lemons!!






Last week we got to go to Lake Powell with my mom and dad. It was so so much fun. I think my kids were made from a Lake Powell mold. They are so happy there. We love to play on the beach, go tubing, go to church at Ticacaboo, eat sandwiches that somehow taste totally different there than they do at home.

One of the days the weather was windy and a little rainy. So we decided that we were going to make the best of the weather so we decided to let the kids do a Lemonade stand on the dock of the houseboat slips. Kaden is quite the salesman. I was very impressed he did not miss a person walking by saying "do you want some yummy lemonade and cookies??" Madison is shy, so she just filled the cups and distributed the cookies. Hailey was just happy watching. After they were done Rob in his business sense sat the kids down and talked about there gross and net profit. It was way over there heads, except the tithing thing they were all happy to give a dollar each.

What a great vacation! How cool is it that you have a husband who teaches your children how business and jobs work. Did he have them pay their overhead before they paid themselves?
I love it how Kaden is a little Robby in the making.
