Over this past summer Bluefield had their usual Lemonade Days so this year I decided to enter the children in the Lemonade Stand Contest. 
Now I'm not just being partial here but I do have to admit out of the 8 Lemonade Stands that were entered into the contest ours was by far the biggest as you can tell and the best. Of course the kids didn't win. But, that's ok what matters is they had a blast helping build the stand and of course saleing their lemonade. I wish I had a picture of the big orange sign that they drew. It was so cute it said "Welcome to our Tike Hut Lemonade Sale" notice the spelling in "Tiki" we had to X out the letter "E" and put the letter "I" above it. Everyone thought it was so cute. The above picture was taken close to the end of the sale as you can tell the kids were getting hot and tired they had to take a break sitting on the curb with my brother Dwayne. They started out wearing some cute grass skirts but it was just so hot and yet windy too that they didn't last long. And as you can tell by the time the contest was over the wind had just bout carried our tiki hut away. Especially the top of it. We shredded up a bunch of paper bags and I do mean a BUNCH of them and used some spray on glue to stick them to the top of the Tiki Hut. It didn't take long before the streets of Bluefield was covered in strips of paper bags every where. LOL So after the contest we loaded our Tiki Hut back up into the back of the boxed trailer and took it back to the shop and set it a blaze. I sware I think the kids had just as much fun watching it go up in flames as they did saleing their lemonade.

I thought that I gave you copies of the pics that I took of them at the lemonade stand. I guess I didn't. Cause I think that I do have the sign in the pics I took. I think that Lacy looked extra cute that day in her grass skirt. :)
I am with the kids, I would have had fun burning the hut too. I like to play in or I should say with fire.
