School is Back in Session: Reminiscing on Our Glory Days

The kids have been back in school for about a month now and it’s given us some time to reminisce on our school days. As it turns out we’re a bit clumsy and a few us had some big falls back in the day.

Get to know the team a bit more with interviews about our glory days:
