Summer Day One!

Today was the first weekday of summer break!  The kids were so excited and wanted to kick it off by going to Carowinds.

 It was hot, but not very crowded so we were able to do everything we wanted quickly!  A memory was made as we got stuck on the Boo Blaster.  They actually shut down the ride and had to escort us off of it.

We were a bit sad that they closed the Windseaker because of the dark storm clouds in the sky, but it was still a fun morning in the park.

After lunch, Preston was begging to do a lemonade stand so I finally said yes.  I then surprised him with a very unexpected gift, a real cash register.  His face was priceless as I brought it down the driveway and plugged it in, let's just say it was his FAVORITE gift!!  After baking in the sun for a bit, he headed in and did lots of research on how to program the machine.  He's figured out how to type specific messages like "Go Tigers", how to do discounts, coupons, set the date and time, and also how to make each key a certain amount for easy processing at his future lemonade stands. :)  Summer is off ot a good start!
