Trent’s oldest daughter, Tatum Haston, joins the guys on “At Home with Roby” to share details about their recent trip to Myrtle Beach.  Together, the two logged over 60 hours each hunting for sharks’ teeth and came home with another 3,500 teeth to add to their impressive collection!  For Trent, hunting for sharks’ teeth is a challenge that encourages structure, discipline and patience and provides him with quiet time to organize his thoughts.  For Tatum, the hunts provide her with quiet time away from her siblings and solo bonding time with her dad.  They both enjoy the early mornings, stunning sunrises, and quite literally, bumping into new people and making new friends.  Tune in to learn more about their trip and a few of the life lessons they learned along their many miles of sand.
