Lemon Shake-Ups

Our family is off to the fair this weekend to enjoy some yummy fair food, some familiar faces, and awesome barnyard animals!  I will undoubtedly buy one of these yummy beverages, but you can make them in your own home, too!  Oh and just for the record...this preggo mama is going all out!  Elephant ears, cheese on a stick, cotton candy, lemon shake-ups!  Mmm  mmm...nummy!

Lemon Shake Ups

2 lemons (cut in half)
1/2 cup sugar
crushed ice
water

Squeeze lemons in a large glass or cup, add sugar and crushed ice (how much is up to you). Place the squeezed lemon halves in and add water (your desired amount). Cover and shake, shake, shake! Remove the lemon halves and enjoy!

*Feel free to add more sugar, less lemon, etc. to get your desired taste.
*Try boiling the sugar and lemon to make a syrup which can be frozen (into ice cubes) and used when desired.
