Henry’s story from conception to the present



Fireworks, lemonade stand and shots

While this is a late update to the Independence Day festivities, there is a good reason.
Our town held its Independence Day celebration last Saturday, but a thunderstorm prevented the fireworks display so barring a repeat of last week’s weather, the family is looking forward to the fireworks tonight and testing out the fireworks option on the new camera.

Since receiving the lemonade stand from the kind people at Sunkist, the kids have run it thrice, and the support has been awesome! In such a small community, it has helped us meet our neighbors, and the kids are just having great time raising money for their favorite charities, cancer research and homelessness.

Yesterday I got a tetanus shot for school, and for one that has a high tolerance to pain, this shot was a pain. The shot itself did not hurt, it was the nagging throbbing pain afterwards that practically immobilized my right arm (luckily I’m left-handed) and Henry had a sudden urge to be carried, thankfully the pain is gone today.

That stand is way cute. (The kids are way cuter.) Was it successful? Did y’all decide which charity to give to?

The support has been outstanding, and we try to operate the stand twice a week, and have decided to donate to the Children’s Cancer Research fund (my father-in-law is a cancer survivor), and our local church ministry to help with homelessness. I hope to go till school starts.

Hi Ada, That looks like fun, my daughter has always wanted to try a lemonade stand. And giving the money to charity is really a terrific idea! That’s a great way to teach the kids about helping others less fortunate than them! Thanks for your comments on my blog. P.S. We had a great time on our camping trip. I posted something on it last week with some pictures.
