A-roooo, A-rooo!

I'm not sure if I ever blogged about Colin's supernatural love of peacocks. Anyway, for the past six weeks or so, Colin has been LOVING the peacock. He first noticed it the "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What do you Hear?" and, for some reason, it took his fancy. When we went to the zoo, we found him a stuffed peacock (that he pretty much ignores). We have also watched peacocks on You.Tube fairly often.

Best of all, though, is the real, live, up-close-and-personal peacock and peahen that live at the game preserve three minutes from our house. We visit often. I will say, the peacock is generally very accommodating and raises his tail and yelps for us. It's very impressive. Gillian has learned to yelp like a peacock too. And both kiddos blow kisses to the pea-couple when we see them.

This weekend we stopped by to see the pea fowl, as usual, but this time we had the camera. Consequently, the peacock was in a bad mood and no plumage was on display. But, here's a shot of a boy and his peacock anyway.
