Let Me Out!

We’ve been very conscientious about staying home during California’s Covid lockdown, and wearing masks when we must go out. 

But being unable to travel - even short day trips - has been grinding on us.

So today we packed up the three girls, along with their masks, 

and headed north to Buellton’s Ostrich Land USA. 

Leia and Leanne have been here before

but I think this was Jac’s first visit. 

She wanted *nothing* to do with feeding those weird dinosaurs birds,

carefully staying well behind the sister-cousin wall of safety. 

Ostrich (and emu) Land isn’t very big and, 

once you’ve given the birds all your pellets, 

there’s not much else to do.

But it is definitely worth the $19 admittance 

(for all 5 of us, including ostrich food) 

for an hour+ of entertainment. 

We hit the much-downsized gift shop on our way back through the parking lot.

 Jac and the peacock

The big girls found nothing of interest 

 Look at those eyelashes!

but Jac fell in love with this little guy. 

His name is Peacock. Peacock Ostrich.
