Last night was the first Friday or Sat. night in Oct. I was gone from our business in 17 years. (not counting nights we were closed due to rain) My son is a senior in high school marching band. It was senior night and parents and the band members who are seniors were presented on the football field during half time. I had been to a couple games to see the band in late Aug. and early Sept. before. And I made several concerts they did. But standing on the field with my son was more WHERE THE HELL DID THESE 18 YEARS GO! I hired extra staff to replace the wife and I last night. It went fine in my absence, but if you are as big a shmuck as me TAKE TIME before it is too late.
It is a standing joke in farming circles "We dont go to weddings in planting or harvest season". Missed weddings because relatives didn't take us serious . I can hire people to run haunt in my absence, but not the farm. If you have good staff you can take more breaks away than I did. Learn from my mistake. And if you do not have staff you can leave the haunt with for 4 hours one night....... you have other problems.
If you have kids; take it from a father who stood there last night wondering where time went. Go to their events.
