Brotherly Love

We met so many wonderful people this weekend. We were BUSY!!! (Go ahead and ask just how busy.) Do you all remember the movie Field of Dreams? I told Max several times today, "If you build it, they will come!" We had people walking in all day long. It made us happy seeing all the kids having fun. I still want to do a post and thank all our super volunteers from this weekend.

While I'm mentioning things being built, we'd love to thank Max's big brother Roy for building the awesome entrance barn to the pumpkin stand. Roy knew Max shouldn't lift heavy materials with his heart issue, so he took a whole day off work to be Max's muscles. All Max had to do was explain his vision to Roy--he took Max's sketch and produced it exactly!
This is Jesus, Roy's employee and friend. He also slaved away all day to get the "barn" finished. Thanks, Jesus. The man is definitely no slugabed. Roy, we are so grateful for all of your help! You are one terrific big brother and we love you to pieces! Beth, thanks for sharing that hubby of yours to help out like that. (WE love you too!) We know how busy you guys are. (They are custom home builders in Rio Rancho and Corrales--Agave Homes.) Thank you for being such great supporters of Galloping Grace (and Max and Michelle.) :)
Your hard work resulted in a very welcoming sight for all guests who come to the pumpkin stand.

It is such a fun place to hang out even if it means you have to work to do it.

Slugabed - that's what you do when you can't sleep - right?

I now know that it's a good thing to have relatives in the construction business.

Good for him - great love on his part.

Oh my goodness, more stone cold foxes in the family! :)

That is the cutest little shelter. I can't believe the guys built it so quickly.

I love it, "if you build it they will come". Wonderful stuff.

Your pumpkin lot entrance is amazing. I am amazed you would build such a great structure for just a month. Do you own this property and can you just leave it up? Or does it all get taken down after Halloween? Are you doing a Christmas tree lot too? Too many questions. Sorry.

The whole pumpkin palace is enchanting! I love being there. My own little casa doesn't have such a grand entrance.
