Thomas had a few friends over for a birthday party today. One activity was the pinata, always a party favorite. In the first picture, Thomas is taking the first crack at it and already some candy is spilling out. The pinata, however, wasn't going to give way that easily and it took all four kids, each taking several swings with a PVC pipe, to rip the thing open to get at the candy. Amazingly, none of the kids got hit, despite their insistence on grabbing for candy while the another was taking swings with the pipe. After a frantic scramble on the ground for each and every prize, they sat together on the hammock to sort and trade. Bryce liked the sours the most, Lydia liked the snickers and plastic coins, Sofi liked the slinkies and starbursts and Thomas liked the necklaces and sweetart chews the most. Then, rather predictably, the hammock swung wildly, all four kids went flying, the bags ripped, the candy and prizes scattered and the negotiations had to begin all over again.

Looks like a wonderful party - but what are pinatas, says she in a helplessly British fashion?
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinata
Simon said he had never heard of a pinata until moving to LA. Which is weird, I think, because I was surrounded by the things in Tempe.
