This is what I love about summer
Making and selling 25 cent cups of lemonade is the epitome of a childhood summer. Any life well lived needs to include this experience.
The other day, driving back from Orem I was in a low mood. For no reason at all I was feeling discouraged and a little depressed. The entire drive I was looking forward to stopping at a drive through and ordering the largest Dr. Pepper I could, always my solution to this situation. Nothing like a caffeine drink to zap some energy into my body.
Before I had the chance, I saw a little boy and girl around 10 years old waving and smiling as they tried to get cars to stop for a quick glass of lemonade. Being in a bad mood I fully intended to keep driving, but as I passed they looked so hopeful and lets be honest, the reminded me of myself eight years ago.
So I turned around. How could I not?
Having two choices, I got one of both and let them keep the change. As I drove away they blew kisses and yelled their thanks after me.

Turns out warm sour lemonade is better than a Dr. Pepper,
and its caffeine free.
Oh Caitlin!!! This is beautiful! I miss you terribly!! When is the next time you can come over? We still need to have that girl party....
