On Wednesday Aaron went with me to a Chamber of Commerce meeting. I'm on the board of directors and this is the first time he attended. He asked to speak and they gave him time to talk about activities for children.
He's been asking around to see what the children in our town want, to alleviate boredom. Most of them suggested a skateboard park. The Chamber members suggested a BMX track instead because there's a space available and let's face it - mounds of dirt are cheaper than wooden skateboarding structures. Aaron agreed that's a good idea and is given the responsibility to find out what volunteer labor is available. I'm going to help him formulate a business plan for the project.
After the meeting he wanted to go play pool at the Family Resource Center. Fortunately there was another child there already, waiting for a partner. They also played a few rounds of air-hockey.
