Car Show Party

Every year at the end of July our town holds a car show. The whole road in front of our place is blocked off for the entire day and people come to enter their cars in the show. Unfortunately I did not get any car pictures because it was like 95 degrees out and I didn't want to take Jillian out in the heat. I should of had Ed take the camera when he walked down with a few friends to check things out!! We had a BBQ and invited a few friends over like we have been doing for the last 5 years.
This year Alexis and Marissa came up with a great idea to make some money for themselves. They decided to set up a lemonade stand and sell lemonade and bracelets that they made. It started off slow but they were only out about 2 hours and made $20, not to bad for kids!!!


This is the sign they made, we taped it to a folding card table and set it up not to far from our house so I could keep going out to check on them





I found out later that since business was a little slow in the beginning, Marissa decided to put the lemonade in cups and walk around asking people if they would like to buy some lemonade. I didn'tthink this was the best of ideas but according to Alexis this is how they got most of their sales!! I guess it's hard to say no to her cute little face!!!























We have recently been back in touch with our friend Kristen and were so glad she was able to make it to our cookout!
























The "S" family has a new baby, her name is Madison. She was so sweet! Slept almost the entire time on her moms lap and then here with Kate sleeping a little more!


























And we can't forget the "S" family's little guy Jackson. What a cutie!

Hopefully next year I will be able to take Jillian for the long walk through the car show and get some pictures of all of the cool cars that enter in the show!
