For Robbie Smith and Ashley Paige, popsicles are the family business. The couple moved to Denver five years ago and immediately began making the tasty treats as part of the company they started called "Denver Pops."

"We have two kids and we wanted to do something where we could involve them," Smith said.

Robbie's 10-year-old daughter, Bella, and Ashley's 10-year-old daughter, Chloe, help when they visit Denver for the summer from out of state. Together with the rest of the Denver Pops staff, they've helped grow the business from a stand at the City Park Farmer's Market to selling more than 300,000 popsicles a year.

It's a dream come true, because we get to hang out with our kids while we work," adds Robbie.

"You really can't ask for anything better than that," Paige said.
