I haven’t been to the ostrich festival but have heard all about it.  UMMMM, this was NO FESTIVAL, it was comparable to the state fair-THE QC size.

This song is what got Zane going for the day-the day we were headed to the Ostrich festival.  So, my kids enjoyed the Journey to the Ostrich Festival.

Upon arrival, they band your children (they got smart). 

We wandered for too long looking for fried twinkies or snickers, snowcones and the beloved ostrich races. 

My kids were done before we even got started.  My biggest kid (Tim) was done too.  All we had time for was the Ferris Wheel.  My mom told Zoe that she would go on the Ferris Wheel with her so Zoe was NOT ABOUT TO LET US LEAVE without that ride.

I have been on many scary rides in my life and loved them.  I have no idea what happened to me but I went on that Ferris wheel and looked down and panicked.  I kept thinking the bottom would fall out beneath or that the back of my seat could break and I would go tumbling down backwards.  WHAT? Could it be the zip ties holding the lights on? 

could it be the warning signs everywhere? 

could it be that the people running the rides look like they hate their jobs?  … not sure why but I was nervous! 

Oh, the ostrich races never happened.  Apparently someone was hurt.  We spent about quite a bit of money (all in about 1.5 hours) and ended up with 2 snowcones and a fried snickers and lots of grumpiness….

So, you ask if I will be going next year?  : )
