Pinata time!

The managers of our little campground have their three grandchildren visiting for Christmas.  We purchased a pinata and filled it with some candy for the children.  Their grandparents added peanuts and oranges to the pinata.

On Christmas Eve, the children sang their pinata song as they took turns hitting the pinata to break it open.
This is the English translation of the song:

Go, go, go,
Don't lose your aim;
Because if you lose it
You will lose the path.

You hit it once
You hit it twice
You hit it three times
And your time is finished.

 

Fernanda takes the first swing

Then Valeria

Andrea's turn

Grandma Adriana takes a turn

Mavis' turn

Carla's turn

After many tries, the pinata breaks and the kids scramble to pick up the treats.

Christmas Day was a warm 30C with clear sunny skies.  We didn't go to the beach that day as we were monitoring the turkey as it cooked on the barbeque. At 6 pm we decorated the table in the palapa for 4 of us to enjoy a traditional turkey dinner.

Lot em up!
