Oh my gosh, where to even begin! Warning, this is gonna be a long post lol.
We’re still trying to wrap our heads around this past weekend and how amazing it was, even when a huge hiccup threw us for a big loop.
Friday morning, the day before day 1 of fall fest and a day we had 1,000 things to do before the busy weekend ahead, I had to call an ambulance for Ron, who had been dealing with severe abdominal pain for days. It started Wednesday and got progressively worse as time went on. He ended up having a perforated appendix, and needed to have it removed. An appendectomy wasn’t on our to-do list for that day, but fortunately we’ve kind of mastered the art of being flexible over the last few years 😅😂 Ron ended up having to stay in the hospital overnight, and the thought of having to pull this weekend off without him was overwhelming. But even with him down, we had to make this weekend special for all of the families that planned to enjoy time here.
Now for the up side…OUR TRIBE RALLIED!
I can’t even put into words the support we felt come Saturday morning. All of our volunteers showed up, and made this event go off without a hitch. If I listed everyone that helped and what they did to pull this off, this post would take 3 hours to read. So instead, I’ll just say THANK YOU. You all were our saving grace, and we’re beyond grateful to have each and every one of you in our life ❤️
And to all of the people that came out this weekend to support our farmily, we hope you enjoyed your time here! I’ve said it many times before, nothing brings us more joy than seeing others enjoy the sanctuary we’ve poured our hearts into, and the animals loved all of the kind interactions they had. Especially because of how our weekend started, seeing so many smiling faces and happy tails filled our hearts ❤️❤️❤️
