Hot Chocolate Stand

I once read that you should always buy lemonade from stands. Can't remember where, but it stuck with me and I decided not to ever pass one by again. I remember Sarah and I sitting in the heat all day at Grandma Lo's (OK, maybe it was a couple hours) and we'd be lucky to get just the mailman.

Well we passed by a stand today on a walk. It was a little cool this morning for lemonade, so they were selling hot chocolate. It was a heck of a deal, because we also got our fortune read (turns out Noah's first job will be writing greetings for a card company. This is good! He can work for Hallmark and stay close to home!). They also put on a dancing/singing show for us (Hot and Cold by Katie Perry - haha).

They were excited for a customer (their sisters were going door to door trying to drum up business)

You are such a good mommy to not pass by that stand! I guess I need to start carrying cash for these things. And a fortune reading for free- you got a deal!

Jess,
I had to go home to get the money, but we live very close so it wasn't a big deal. But, I'm going to start to carry some money when I take long walks now that it's nice :)

You might have read a book called "Stopping at every lemonade stand". It's an excellent book that uses the premise of stopping at lemonade stands as a metaphor for explaining how important it is for children to have adults in their lives, besides just their parents, that believe in them and support them. It is not as boring as I just made it sound, honest! :)
