In this episode, Shelly shares about her fifth grade field trip last week to Seabrook Island, in South Carolina. Shelly and Wes have both loved outdoor education and the opportunity to learn about science outside, and this was an extremely fun and motivational experience for Shelly, even though it was taxing with over 100 5th graders and rainy weather the entire time! In this episode we also share about our new sideline funnel cake business we are starting! We give some background about things that we have learned and how this business opportunity has become a reality for us to start soon.
