Our town Chandler, has an Ostrich Festival every March. It's a carneval of a sort with rides, games, shows. Among the many attractions it's an Ostrich Race. They strap modified bicycle carts on a harness and around the giant bird, and off they go. It's a funny thing to see. Often times the harness doesn't stay on for the duration of the 2 min race. It's not meant to stay, because otherwise it will hurt the bird. It's more for fun.
This year there was something new for the kids. Floating bubble rides. A big inflatable pool was filled with water, and had bubbles big enough for a person to be inside. A kid gets in, and the bubble is filled up with a big compressor pump, zipped up so the air stays in, and then it floats with the kid inside. Patrick and Maggie loved it. Here they are, side by side in a big bubble.
