Perhaps there are not three people anywhere around more excited about the opening of 704 than my children. Ever since the boys started skateboarding, they have been talking about how awesome it’ll be to have the ramps at 704’s ramp park open to skate on. When they found out that we need to raise half a million to get it started, they immediately went into entrepreneur mode and tried to think of stuff they could do to help raise money.

Enter their new business. That’s right, at the ripe old ages of 10,10, and 6, Parker, Will, and Sydney have launched “We Help!!!” They cook, clean, wash cars, design posters, even walk your dog. They’ve got it all – homemade business cards, a price sheet, a spiral notebook with “We Help!!! Records” printed on it. The best part? When I got back from my run yesterday, they told me that they’d gotten their first call – an order for 2 dozen chocolate chip cookies for the 7th grade at Park Ridge. How freakin cool is that??

704 can’t be far off when a lot of people get as motivated as that. Thanks, guys! I’m proud of you.
