growing up my mom made pink lemonade ice cubes to float in our yellow lemonade. while i'm sure it wasn't freshly squeezed, it remains a favorite memory of mine. it always felt like a special treat. the more i think about it- how smart, you never had a watered down drink! so, think of that as my mama's tip of the day!
i hope my little loves remember our summer lemonade days too.
i use the recipe from a favorite food network star of mine, Ina Garten of Barefoot Contessa.

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 to 3/4 cups sugar1 cup ice
4 cups of water
place all ingredients in blender, serve over ice.
in order to get the boys really excited about this- i said we needed our hammers. is there a better way for little boys to juice lemons?
i love this face
jack likes to pretend that he loves lemons
sweet anna michael wanted to help too
oh how i love summer. i can't think of a better way to soak in the sunshine....then with a glass of lemonade.
Love this idea! I can't wait to try it out with my boys. Thanks for the sweet and healthier recipe :)
