13 June 2013 ~ Mexican Piñata

Listening to: Griffin House ~ Woman With The Beautiful Hair

A few weeks back I went to my friend Marshall's 49th birthday party in the Russian River Valley.

A few of his pictures from throughout the years were set on the hot tub near the "game" area. His partner made the corn bag toss game and box. Here I am just missing with my friends looking on in amazement.

The Piñata was homemade as well. According to Wikipedia, "the idea of breaking a container filled with treats came to Europe in the 14th century, where the name, from the Italian pignatta, was introduced. The Spanish brought the European tradition to Mexico."

The fun part to watch was that it's attached to a pulley so when the birthday boy was trying to hit it, the target moved. Quite entertaining.
