Livestock auction + kids= a rather interesting day

 .  This last Wednesday we were off to the livestock auction. I must have been out of my mind venturing down there by myself with 2 kids !! But off we went. When we arrived, we headed straight to the yard to check out the animals that had already been dropped off. We saw lots of boar goats, sheep, a few short horn heifers, and some really nice horses. After checking out all the animals we headed inside and got our buyer number. I should have realized I was in trouble when wyatt asked for his own number ! We went in and found our seats right as the sheep began pouring in. I was very surprised how well the kids did for the first 3 hours. We then went and bought drinks and some breakfast, and headed right back to watch the remaining 250 head come in. We bid on several lambs but due to a massive turn out of buyers we ended up not winning any lambs. Then out came the Lhama's. Wyatt had seen the baby lhamas when we were in the yard, and had asked if he could buy them. But knowing that they eat as much as a horse and aren't rideable or useful in anyway to us I told him no. Well as soon as those baby lhama's came into the ring, the bids were flying from one side of the ring to the other. I then realized the auctioner was looking at me when he was on our side of the ring. I began looking around to see who was bidding and realized it was Wyatt !!! He had grabbed my buyer number out of my pocket and was waving it trying to get his lhama !! After getting my buyer number back and fortunetly not winning the lhama, I decided to skip the calf and horse auction for this week and head home. I think this next week we will leave the kiddo's at home, so that we don't end up coming home with a lhama !!!
