Today, me and my father, as well as my  sister went to Walmart, to get some supplies for my lemonade stand and slime business. 

When we first went inside Walmart, I dashed to end of the aisles where the beverages are located. My dad is trailing us pushing a big shopping cart in front of him. 

While I went forward passing the rows of shelves till to the end, my chubby little sister dashed to another direction of store. She is literally galloping in excitement of what she want to get. It was little concerning that she couldn’t control herself and that she might run into someone by knocking them off by her sheer weight or get herself knocked off. 

My sister was after the baking aisle, where she grabbed a vanilla and chocolate cake mix. I already knew what she had in mind then. I was at the beverage section, where I grabbed a bottle of lemonade and I pack of lemonade mixer. Because for the lemonade stand, we want to have both fresh and the powder, depending on the demand.

 My dad, he always freak out with soda as too sugary and junk food as unhealthy to consume, but he surprised us this time, by pulling out a pack of coke and quietly put it in the cart, wishing that we wouldn’t see it. If any of us kids, go for it, I am sure he will not allow us so today was my lucky day!

 I was filling the empty carter that my dad was pulling with other eatables and drinks. When we reached the aisle where they have slime for sale. We bought the ingredients for making the slime, such as 1 blue glitter glue, 1 clear glue and 1 Elmers’s magical liquid. We father also reminded that mommy wanted to buy some eggs and milk too. 

We circled around to the fresh produce, where we bought fruits. My father insists Fuji apple is sweet and we looked for it. In each bag, there are around 10 apples, which looks crispy and fresh. Also a pack of cherries that my dad thought will be good to have. We also bought four piece of lemonades. We almost mistake it with a lime. 

Having packed the cart with all the things we needed, next we headed to check out. The cash register was self-serving. My dad scanned some of the items twice, and we had to call a customer reps to cancel the duplicity. 

Over all, we had itemized bill for $55.00 We walked out of the store, feeling relieved and ready for our business venture sell slime and lemonade.
