Pinata Insanity

Near the end of the party, we brought out the favorite--the pinata. Thomas, because he is the birthday boy, gets the first whack.

Jimmy gets a turn.
Sofi then gets a go.
Grandma, fed up with watching their swings get nowhere, shows them how it's done.
About 20 whacks later, the pinata finally burst open and candy and "prizes" (like tubs of goo and crappy whistles) flew everywhere. The kids then spent about 30 minutes sorting, eating, and resorting.
