Today John's caregiver came and I ran errands. I bought a pinata for
our Easter celebration. I don't know how popular they are in other parts
of the country, or around the world, although they are said to have originated
in Europe. They are very popular in Central Texas. They are filled with candy and
small toys and children are blindfolded and try to hit them with a stick. When they
break, the children gather the candy. I bought one shaped like an egg....didn't figure
it would be nice to whop the Easter Bunny! I didn't buy cascarones, another popular
Easter tradition, but took a photo.

pinata's are a weekly thing here, in parks at birthday parties I bet I could find one every week! lots of fun to watch the kids scramble when they break

Great range of color Petesie and cascarones are fascinating to the grandchildren.

I always bring cascarones back for the grandchildren when I go to San Antonio. They love to break them over each other's heads.
