Entrepreneur

I often wonder what Alex is going to be when he grows up. For a seven year old, he certainly has an eye for selling things. This past week, Alex decide to turn our front yard into a mini-golf course. The charge of admission was $2.00 (pretty step considering the whole course consisted of one hole). With signs posted on the community mail boxes and clubs in hand he waited for customers. And waited... and waited...until Dad came home and played his course. Word spread around the family and Margie stopped by after work. Alex netted $5 and squandered it at WinCo buying candy.





A few days later, he decided to form a club. He walked around the neighborhood asking kids of all ages to join his club. There were a few takers and the first official club meeting was held Saturday afternoon in the play structure. He named the club, "Art and Craft and War Club". We quickly vetoed the "war" part of the name. I really don't know what he'll come up with next, but I'm sure it'll be interesting.
