Lemonade/Cookie Stand For Sharks

Sophi is having her first "Lemonade Stand For Sharks" fund raiser this morning. Sophi was so excited that she got up at 5:30 am! We made her this cool shirt to wear with her artwork on it last night and Grandma picked up the balloons that the local Party Store donated. We had the cookies and lemonade ready so we headed outside for business. It was supposed to be 82 and sunny and we had a 5K ending in front of our house (not bad planning on mom's part).

We even made some sharks with her message on their belly to hang in the tree over her table... there was a small breeze so they looked like they were swimming around.

We made a cool sign to put at the end of our street to point people in the right direection.

Sophi hired her sister to work the stand with her - she payed her 1 cookie and a glass of lemonade. (She gave a cookie and lemonade to Grandma and Mom for helping also) - nothing like cheap labor.

Sophi was open and ready to support her cause! Too the right of her was a big bouquet of blue, green and yellow balloons to draw the customers in.


1 hour into it, a thunder and lightning storm moved in... Sophi moved her stand into the living room and kept right on going - - she wore her staff out.

Her very 1st "Lemonade Stand For Sharks" was a success - - she ended up making $81.25 + $50 from her Captain Curt call-in order! She was excited and had a great time!! We will keep you posted on when the next one is.
