10 Ideas Blog

The 10 Ideas Blog was inspired by the words of James Altucher in his National Best Seller, Choose YourselfEach week, we sit down and challenge our brain to come up with ten ideas for new inventions.  This is a great exercise for anyone to participate in, and sometimes we come up with really great concepts (and sometimes, they’re a little crazy!) Our father, Ben Greenfield wrote an article about why this is such a good idea, and you can read that article here.

In this installment of 10 ideas, originally recorded in the summer, the twins were inspired by outdoor play. While Terran was busy imagining life in the trees, River wanted to be in a pool… which just makes sense, because Terran was named for the land, and River for the water!

Terran on Land & Water

I, Terran, was named for the land, and maybe that’s why I love hiking and exploring nature and trees.  One of my favorite projects was building our treehouse and that was on my mind when I wrote these ideas.  I thought it would be amazing to have tree-climbing shoes to make it easier to get to a treehouse or to just get up high and see farther.  I also thought it would be awesome to have an automatic treehouse builder, which would make it possible to have instant, super cool shelter when camping, hunting, or hiking.

River on Land & Water

I, River, am named for water and I LOVE it!  I like swimming in pools, lakes, rivers, and even the ocean.  I was thinking about pools when writing these ideas, though.  I thought it would be great to be able to have a pool when traveling.  A plane with a pool or an RV with a pool would be so much fun!
