Dave and I both grew up with entrepreneurial parents. Working for ourselves feels very natural to us…not easy, but natural. I sometimes look at our kids from the outside and realize that they will have much of the same experiences we had. Our 7 year old had a pretty firm grasp on gross revenue, cost of goods and net revenue. Our 5 year old is the dreamer. He always has new ideas for attractions to add. Oh how they mirror their parents! Coop believes we should add a tree house with bridges and a pool in the middle of the corn maze. I vote for that!
