an auction

mares may live in a big city
but her roots are small town strong
she was lucky enough to attend an animal auction
her grandfather took her
he has raised (or had multiples of the following animals)- cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, rabbits, fish, goats, turkeys, chickens, and horses
he has also had (singly)- llama, goose, and peacock
needless to say my dad knows animals
also needless to say this place is kid loving animal heaven (which is precisely what mary is)
an auction was exactly what she needed
here are a few snaps of this grand adventure

mares become a cattle master for about 3 seconds

 then she needed a truck inspection break

 this cattle herd caught her eye

then she decided she may need to be for auction

she got confused about the livestock

and unprofessionally jabbed this cowboy

 whimsical auction mary

tries distracting grandpa

then she chose an auction life of seclusion

that auctioning is down right interesting

i hadn't been in years 

it was as great today as it was then- better because a mini came along and loved it 

you may want to plan an outing to an auction in the near future
