For the last several months Jacob and Anna have talked about business ideas. They tried a lemonade stand -- too boring for Mike to get excited about, and too little money to be made for them to stay interested. They debated a roadside flower stand, but Jacob wasn't thrilled. Then they started to talk about combining a hobby with money making, and came up with a plan for a kid's ski blog.
As 5th graders, they get a "5th Grade Ski Passport" that gives them a free pass to all ski resorts in Utah. Their blog idea is to write about their experience skiing all 14 resorts in a single season -- all from a kid's unique perspective. Mike helped them pitch the idea to SkiUtah.com (the official site of Utah's Ski and Snowboard Association) -- they loved the concept and are hosting the blog on their website.
Their first post is now live -- see http://www.skiutah.com/winter/blog/authors/yeti/introducing-the-powder-twins. So far they've earned free skis from Rossignol, and GoPro has provided them an HD camera to document their experience...and they've certainly caught an entrepreneurial bug. My kids are awesome. If you visit the blog please leave a comment so they know people are reading it. :-)
