A backyard party on the southside, complete with pinata. I thought everyone knew what pinata's were, but apparently some people don't know about them. This one was shock full of candy I'm sure. You got to be careful around pinata's because usually the hitters are blindfolded and swing crazy. When I was a wee bit young one I saw a kid get whacked in the head.
Oh what a cute picture! Pinatas aren't (I don't think) common in the UK - I'd never heard of them until earlier this year when someone I know, who is the consummate professional and a real high-flyer, insisted she wanted one at her wedding!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever heard of a pinata at a wedding. :D But everyone likes to take a swing at them. One party we had the little kids couldn't bust it open so all the adults took a whack at it, and the boys of course became competitive.
ReplyDeleteI've hit a few of them, too. :) Nice photo.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture and what fun! We have had them at our kids birthday parties and they are a big hit (pun intended!)
ReplyDeletej. - I don't think I've hit any ever probably. As an adult I'm usually too busy snapping away or laughing at the antics of others.
ReplyDeleteDan - I totally get what you are talking, the kids do love them. Every time we have a party they always ask where the pinata is. Having 16 nephews and nieces I've seen way too many pinatas, enough to last me pho a long time.
