Cool, refreshing drinks are a necessity during the hot days of summer. What products remind you of your childhood? Lemonade stands and Country Time remind me of summer and being a kid! I remember having a makeshift lemonade stand with one of my friends. I’m pretty sure we used Country Time Lemonade. Lemonade is definitely a summer staple but honestly I haven’t drank any since I was a kid. As a parent I am concerned with overly sugary drinks and I haven’t considered Country Time for my family.
Country Time and their representatives recently sent me a delightful Country Time pitcher and canister of their classic Lemonade flavor to test out in celebration of summer! I checked out their website and found out that Country Time Lemonade has 40% less sugar than leading regular sodas and is a decent source of Vitamin C. I also noticed on the label that the product is gluten and caffeine free. But you might want to avoid this product if you or anyone in your family is allergic to soy products.
We followed the easy directions by combining the mix with water and ice and within minutes we had tasty lemonade. The taste is exactly how my husband and I remember it…summer sweetness! Yum! Again, I try to keep sugary drinks to a minimum and we do not drink soda. But this is a refreshing drink for the summer. Great for parties (lemonade popsicles!), picnics or that family BBQ you’ll be planning.
Country time also comes in Pink Lemonade, Flavored Lemonades, On the Go Packs and Lite Lemonade (34 calories per serving!). Also, Country Time partners with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. They’re helping to raise money for pediatric cancer research. Visit http://brands.kraftfoods.com/countrytime/ to find out more!

Growing up we lived near woods that had a stream running through it. My sister, cousin and I would make paper boats or boats out of any household castaway item and take them down to the stream and float them in the water. Sometimes we’d make boats out of cardboard and take our old Barbie dolls down there to float them on makeshift “yachts”. That is until the day we all saw a snake in the water…eeek! We were much more careful about our boat-floating after that.

My favorite summerhood memory was going outside and sitting on the big rock in our backyard and being amazed that there was “no air”. The temperature was so perfect that it wasn’t cool or warm – it felt like it wasn’t there at all.
My favorite memory is watching fireworks over the lake on July 4th. We still do this…

My favorite Summer childhood memory is going swimming in the creek by our house. Groups of us would get together and go to “the rock” and take turns jumping off in the swimming hole. 🙂

Swimming in the park’s Snoopy pool.
my favorite summer time memory is when my entire family got together when my great grandparents were alive. We all met at their house. They have a big farm. Now my family doesn’t get along and it’s sad that they haven’t talked in about 7 years.
It lasts for four days in the fridge.
mine is swimming in my g’parents pool!
My favorite summertime memory was helping make strawberry ice cream with an old-fashioned crankable ice cream maker after a day at the beach. 🙂

Playing at in the lake at my grandparents house with my cousins. My granddady passed away on Mother’s Day, so those memories are especially dear now.
I remember being small and running around the yard in the twilight that seemed to last forever. Those long evenings seemed magical to me then, especially when we got to stay up so late.

I remember one summer when I was about 10 years old, we had an outbreak of locusts. Gross right? But when you’re a kid, this is fabulous. We played a game where you couldn’t step anywhere unless you stepped on a grasshopper. Good times that I would never recommend to any adult hehe
