At some point over the summer, Oskar and Alva began making plans for a lemonade stand. They were excited and so naturally we were all excited. We figured the best weekend to set up the stand would be Saturday of Fleet Week and we would set up at the top of our alley to get the business of all the tourists who were hot and thirsty after climbing up to Coit Tower.
Limes and lemons were purchased on Friday and then the kids got to work Saturday morning.
They made signs
They made the juice
And then they made a killing. At $0.50 a cup, the kids brought in a lot of business and at that price point most people ended up tipping up to $1.
The stand was open for only 1 hour, they sold out of lemonade and they made over $45. We also had a great time meeting a few new neighbors, catching up with a few old friends, and chatting up people visiting the city for Fleet Week.
