Teach 'em to work early, I say.

And if the lemonade stand doesn't work out? Sanding is a universal skill.

The lemonade stand

Maia has run out of victims for her "I'll bet you a dollar" jokes, so she is taking advantage of the heat to earn some honest money (she's saving for a doll.)

Update - Maia earned enough to buy her doll and continues to rake in the cash. Ev and I are planning to give up our jobs and let the cute kid support us - until the heat wave ends at least...

Maia's own flag...

Maia shows off the flag with the help of Grandpa Frank - my Auntie Mary is in the background.

Maia's Witness Weekend

Cheryl gathers items for the evening's campfire while Maia and Shane play....



We spent the weekend camped up in the Elaho Valley - it was a deeply emotional weekend for all of us.
