Weekend party #1

Saturday afternoon we went to a birthday party in Memorial Park. After much playing around on the jungle gym, riding his tricycle, Lucas was ready for the penultimate activity - the pinata (or as he calls it, the empanada).

While Lucas waited in line, he did the proper warm-up to the event.

After a few tries, he knocked that pinata right off the tree. It took a few more rounds of kids bashing it in to open it up and get the goods. Then, the final activity of the party, Lucas' favorite.
Sidenote: Check out these beautiful cupcakes. The grandmother slaved away for 6 hours making these gorgeous creations. She sliced up marshmallows, which took the most time she said, then just decorated them with sprinkles and artfully placed them on top of the cupcakes. Not only were they beautiful, they were delicious too.
