Lemonade Stands--Ahaaa summer!

My kids love having lemonade stands and generally they are quite profitable. Last year in one hot afternoon they made $30! It was at the time when everyone was coming home from work and they were saving money for the local animal shelter so customers were encouraged to donate more than the cost of the lemonade. Yesterday we added cookies also and the lemonade and cookie stand were a hit. All my kids and some of the neighborhood kids were at it holding signs and yelling, "lemonade 50 cents!" However, Jaron was yelling for awhile, "Lemonade! 50 dollars!" The kids soon corrected him (darn). I always make him repeat his sayings. My favorite of the week is the movie he wants to watch-"The lizard of laws" also know to some as the "Wizard of Oz." Happy summer!!!

Baltic Cruise

OK-I've given in and decided to start blogging. I so enjoy reading blogs so here it goes! Jay and I just returned from an amazing cruise with his work. He is a regional manager for AFLAC and his state manager took all the regional managers and their spouses (yeah!) on a cruise to the Baltic Sea. We started in Copenhagen, Denmark then went to Germany, Sweden, Estonia and Russia. It was an experience of a lifetime!!! All went well at home with our kids and luckily NO pets died during this trip (thank heavens!!!) Probably my favorite city was Stockholm but Russia was incredible also. It is hard to pick just one place. This picture is our last day. Before we had to catch our flight we were able to tour Copenhagen. We actually saw the cathedral that has the original Cristus statue in it. We had a wonderful time!
