Garage Sale!

All the kids eating their cookies!



A few weeks ago, we had our yearly garage sale with some friends from church. We usually have one or two each summer together, and this time it was at our friend Carrie's home. I promised Mitchell we would have a lemonade stand so he was beyond excited! He made his own sign showing a glass of lemonade and a watermelon cookie with a big 25$ (instead of a cent abbreviation) on it! He has his cash register and blue folder (shown in picture) that he used to count how many people bought lemonade that day. Mitchell loaded up his table and chairs in the truck by himself b/c he wanted to be ready for the garage sale! He was quite organized and quite a salesman! Every time that someone came by he asked if they would like some lemonade and a sugar cookie (I made some frosted watermelon sugar cookies to sell as well). He said his favorite part of the garage sale was when Papa and Nana Van Zee came by and got some lemonade and each gave him a whole dollar! I think they ended up making 8-9 dollars from the sale! We had a great time!
