This past weekend, Zackary decided he wanted to set up a lemonade stand. Or, rather, a dog bone stand, to sell bones to people walking by with their dogs! I convinced him to add iced tea to the inventory as well.
He did such a good job marketing! He made a sign to wave around and yelled, “HEY!! DO YOU WANT ICED TEA?!” at everyone that passed by.
When business got slow, Zackary and Benjamin entertained themselves by playing hopscotch on the front sidewalk.
Soon, though, it was back to work. Zackary’s dog bones were a huge hit; everyone that stopped for a drink bought a few for their pet at the same time!
Zackary stayed out until supper and had so much fun. We finally convinced him to come inside, but only after promising he could set up his stand again next weekend!
If you have a Wordless Wednesday post, feel free to link it up below; I’d love to check it out!
that’s awesome!! Good for him!
It was a pretty great idea! LOL
Oh my gosh! Seriously smart idea!
I know, hey? I was really impressed!
A smart little entrepreneur there.
Now I just need to make sure that he keeps that motivation into adulthood!
Awww What little entrepreneur you have! He seems to be on his way to becoming a successful businessman!
I think so! He’s definitely got the determination for it!
I love that stand it is perfect, what a great idea he had.
Isn’t it cute? We got it when Zackary was just a baby; I’m so excited to finally be using it!
Great idea! And what an awesome stand!
I love it too!
I absolutely LOVE this! My oldest did a stand last summer and has been asking to do one again…And they are so motivated!
Aren’t they? My son wants to do his every weekend! LOL
Haha fabulous idea!
Thanks Tasha! I couldn’t say no, he was so proud of himself for thinking it up!
I would have bought the place out!
Miss Bella would have loved the bones.
LOL We’ll make sure to set it up if you’re in Saskatchewan, Shannon!
That is the coolest ice tea stand ever! Love it!
Isn’t it awesome! We bought it on clearance five years ago and saved it until he was old enough. He was asking us for a stand this year, so we figured he was old enough!
You have quite the little entrepreneur there and I love the stand, it’s perfect for his little business!!
He’s pretty ambitious, all right!
this is a virtual play date if I ever saw one! lol love those sesame street stands!

Oh my, so adorable. Love the sesame street stand!
It totally added to the cuteness of the scene!
What a cute stand he has.
I adore it! It’s actually way cuter than I thought it would be; totally worth buying!
Love that our children think alike. Looks like Lemonade Stands (ugh & dog bones/iced tea stands) were pretty popular across the Prairies this weekend
Thanks for the linky!
They sure do! Some days are just made for selling cold drinks!
Lol. That is so funny. What a guy!
Isn’t it great! Totally made me laugh!
Sounds like you have a little entrepreneur on your hands!
I think so! I’m going to be nurturing that ambition, that’s for sure!
Oh my gosh! LOVE the lemonade stand! Definitely what Summer’s all about
It sure is! Summer at its finest!
Selling dog treats to folks out walking their dogs? I love it ! That’s awesome! Such as adorable lemonade stand too. Looks like lots of fun.
Thanks Deanna! Yes, I’m so in love with that stand!
