Cheeseburgers, Sheep, and Goats

 On the Monday of Spring Break, we all met (minus Tara, who was home with a sick Taylin) at the Everson Auction Barn.  I have to tell you - this is one of the best free adventures around!!!  It was a blast - we were there for hours, and only left because we had to be at an appointment at 2pm.  Breanne had taken Addison for the morning while the kids and I did speech and errands, and to all our surprise she showed up wearing BLING.  Crazy, crazy, but she did look cute, so Breanne finally won me over to a little bit of bling in the hair.  Ha!  We all sat together to eat a cheeseburger, and the kids were AWESOME.  They were completely entertained with everyone walking around, and each other!  The animals in the holding area were so fun to go and see - and because Monday's are small animal day, there was a lot of variety.  The kids could not get enough! Finally, it was time for the auction to begin.  The kids all had full stomachs, and it was 12:30pm... they were mesmerized by the bidding, the different animals, the auctioneer's voice, and the ANIMALS.  Breanne and I were kicking ourselves - a full size pig sold for $80 - we should have bought it.  And we tried and tried to convince my mom to buy a sheep and keep it for the summer.  Why?  For Mutton -Busting!  Wouldn't that be a rip roaring time at Grandpa and Grandma's all summer long?  Maybe next year!  I don't think we will be waiting that long to make a return trip though - anyone up for a burger?
