I Remember That Day Like It Was Yesterday

b_ty_lemonade.jpgMaybe it's my artistic eye or that I'm just a sentimental sap, but every time I see a photo like this one, I feel instantly nostalgic.  Although it was only taken a few weeks ago, I can't help but imagine Ty and his buddy, Brendan coming across this photo as adults and having it reignite the flame of a happy childhood.

They probably won't remember that little brother, Wil kept spilling the lemonade (purposely) or that they only had two customers or that the humidity was raging that day, but hopefully they'll remember how the day made them feel.  Two boys against the world...adventurous entrepreneurs!

As parents, we can only hope that when life gets complicated (which it inevitably will), the pictures of their childhood will offer our children the sweet reminder of simpler days.

That is a wonderful picture of the boys. Ang, you are so right, no matter how many times you see a lemonade stand, it evokes warmth and feelings of a simpler time. Ty and Brendan are as sweet as the lemonade they were selling. Pure joy!
