Ostrichland, Miniature Horses, & The Park

After a restless night in our first hotel room we woke up to a full day of fun. We went to Ostrichland USA, Quick Silver Miniature Horse Ranch, and then Sunny Fields Park.

Ostrichland USA
This is an ostrich ranch that raises and sells ostrich products. As a side business visitors can view and feed the ostriches. I thought it would be exciting for Ava, but she did not like it. The ostriches were pretty aggressive and you had to be careful not to get bit. You also had to hold tight to the feeding dish or they would rip it out of your hands. It was definitely an unique experience.

Check out the sign in this picture.
Ava turned away while Rich fed the ostriches and did not want to help.

Quick Silver Miniature Horse Ranch
I found this ranch while searching for things to do online. The ranch raises miniature horses to sell, but allows visitors to look around. It was a nice place with a lot of cute miniature horses. The only problem was Ava wanted to ride the horses and that was not allowed.I called this the "Luca" horse because it had the same coloring as our dog.

I also found this park while searching for things to do online. It is a beautiful park that is built like a castle. After being all day in the car the day before and knowing we had a big road trip the next day I thought it would be good for Ava to run around. This was the perfect place for it. She had a blast and the adults had fun too.
There's everybody at the top of the castle.
