PINKALICIOUS!!!!

Emma and Logan love books, we read books through out the day and every night before bed. A few nights ago I read the book Pinkalicious and the Pink Drink to Emma. If you have a little girl you probably have read one of the Pinkalicious stories. This one is about a little girl named Pinkalicious who wants gum balls but she has no $$ to buy them so she decides to have a lemonade stand to earn $$ so she can get her gum balls. As she's making her lemonade she of course decides it needs to be PINK so she adds various things to it to make it pink. It is the cutest story and Emma get such a kick out of it when we read it. Well this last time we read the story Emma decided that she would like to make pink lemonade too. So below are a few pictures of Emma and Logan making their own PINK DRINK!!!

Getting started: Squeezing the Lemons for our Pink Lemonade...

...Logan had to squeeze some too.

Of course you can't make lemonade without tasting the lemons.

Adding the sugar to our water...

...mixing...

...here comes our fresh squeezed lemon juice...

...more mixing...

...added strawberries for that pretty pink color!!!

WE DID IT!!!!

Yum, Yum!!

This activity was so fun and a great way to encourage Emma and Logan to read and EXPERIENCE what they are reading. It is so important for children to connect what they are reading about to things that occur in their own life. This activity was initiated by Emma and took 15 minutes, but was worth so much. She was so excited to tell Justin all about it and to have him taste it and seeing that just made my heart happy!!! So HAPPY READING friends!!!
