What kids haven&#8217;t dreamed of setting up a lemonade stand on a hot summer day?
My children and some of their friends set one up this weekend.
They built the stand themselves with scrap wood and nails.  My word, the number of nails they used.  Let&#8217;s just say we should huddle under this should a tornado come through.

		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that during the summer select movie theaters offer free admission for a children&#8217;s movie, or two, per week?  You probably did.
