Pinata

This is the face of a pinata. It was hanging from the front tree in my parents' front yard when we drove up on Saturday morning to Waco. My mom said it was for Justin & Barrett to get a bat and get all their aggression out of their system.

With Justin hitting it with one hand and Barrett just barely grazing the goofy looking creature, we knew we would need to speed this up.

Aaron & Elise are in the background being amused by the action. Hey, at least the boys weren't hitting each other!

Justin is still trying to hit it with one arm. He is right handed but swings like a lefty. Interesting combo - possible switch hitter?

Finally Aaron beat the pinata enough to let the booty fall out. If you had seen Justin's surprised expression when it fell in two pieces. My mom, ever the careful dental hygienist, didn't put candy in there because it might choke them. Oh no - she put mardi gras beads! Yes, what every mother of boys wants them to want to play with. Here's a picture of Justin wearing his prize and looking at the destruction.
