Just like the good old days

When I was a kid, I distinctly remember selling lemonade to passersby near one of my childhood homes. My little sister and I would set up shop on the corner by our home, which was near a relatively busy road. We would then come up with a grand scheme about how we would make SO MUCH MONEY and would then buy super awesome toy with our profits. It never really worked out that way, but it was always fun.

Yesterday, I was sent out to photograph some entrepreneurial children, who were consequently selling lemonade at their grandmother’s house.

The following photos are my favorites.

Ainsley Richardson, 10, sips lemonade out of a cup Monday afternoon at the lemonade stand on the corner of Heatherwood and Colony Lane. Jackson and Olivia Chandler, from McKinney, Tex., set up shop in their grandmother's front lawn. (Photo by Erin Parker / The Hattiesburg American)
