A festival fit for a peacock!

Sooo, its almost Halloween and since Elliotte's birthday falls on the weekend of such a holiday we decided to dress her up early, and head to the park where the annual Chili cook off happens in our neighborhood!  Our peacock made quite the impression on all those attending, many who thought she was a butterfly, bug of some sort, or a monster.  Idiots.  BUT nonetheless the peacock had lots of fun playing in the park with pops, and sharing chili with mama!  Peacock even WON the cake walk!!!  (And by win, I mean I stood on the squares for her and did all the work while she got to enjoy the spoils of my effort)  She picked a kitty cake, and LOVED the licorice whiskers.  But than again who wouldn't?!  She got jibbed on the costume contest, some stupid werewolf kid won, and he wasn't even that cute to be honest.  I have suspicions that it was rigged...  But that didn't stop the peacock from strutting her stuff proudly on the runway.  Even if she didn't win she will always be the cock of the walk in my heart.  Peacock, you did your mama proud!

A peacock is known to be extremely adorable and a bit rambunctious at times.

Peacocks are capable of riding equine!

Peacocks feast on pumpkins often.

Contrary to popular belief, Peacocks love to swing! 
Here the peacock is with the winner of the Chili Cook off!!! 
Peacocks love Kitty cakes!!!
