Chandler Ostrich Festival
Yesterday we attended the Chandler (AZ) Ostrich festival. They had lots of games and rides and plenty of very fattening foods to enjoy. I have to say though we were good (only had 1 slice of pizza and water).But the fried dough was very tempting.
Allyson rode rides and had a blast. We did the smart thing and bought her an all day ride pass and it paid for itself well.
As we left Allyson exclaimed "This was the best day of my life".
We spent the first few hours doing the rides, eating and trying to figure out where were all the ostriches!? Finally we made our way over to the ostrich races... Interesting sport, those things don't like to be told where to go.

In the ball pit, having a blast
In the spinning baskets...having more fun...
Even had a sea lion show, Allyson got hot and hungry duing it so we didn't get to see the whole thing.
Allyson got to meet one of her favorite TV characters
More rides and fun
Ostrich races aren't exactly safe...one of the riders in the left picture, behind and to the left of the rider in red was thrown off her ostrich and the bird landed on top of her...she was taken to the hospital
More ostrich racing...pretty funny to watch...they will just sometimes run in circles
Chariot Ostrich racing...the steering wheel is a broom...those birds are strong..weigh around 300# each
