The Sale

Cooper was excited that he got to go along with Derek to Uncle Dean's Sale.

There were a LOT of "toy" tractors for sale.

And pocket knives.

Once the sale got going, one of Cooper's jobs was to take the item purchased to the buyer.

(Cooper says this is #16)

Cooper also got to hear Grandpa Gordie auctioneer.

And sit with Grandma Jan while she kept track of things.

There was food for sale too, so they got lunch.

And a soda!

After the sale, Derek and Cooper went to dinner with G'pa Don & G'ma Neva and "Miami" Cousin Donna.  Then hit Uncle Bob's fishing pond on the way back to G'ma Jan's.  After the fishing, they came across another creature!  A mature doe ran out in front of them on the rural roads and Derek couldn't avoid her.

The deer hit the front of the car and then the side so it banged up the car pretty good.

But the next morning, Cooper wasn't to upset to hunt for creatures.

Two toads and a frog.

Then on the way out, they went to G'ma Nene's and Coop played with the cats. 

He caught "Spot", but still wasn't allowed to bring one home.

He did come home with quite a few goodies from the sale though!

Some that were for Miles.  This kept the boys busy for quite a while.

They were glad to see each other again.  Once during the weekend Miles said:

"Stuff is more funner when Cooper is here."
