This is a fun image from our family’s trip to Solvang. For the kids’ sake, a few of our stops in Solvang were at different ranches. We saw miniature horses and miniature donkeys and these not-so-miniature ostriches.

The two younger kids wanted to feed them, so we paid the big bucks, took our feed-laden pie pans outside and tried not to get our hands mauled while these monsters gorged. They were larger than us and had the home field advantage, so they displayed absolutely no fear of us.
