A Honduran birthday party is always a great cultural experience, especially for our children. The main requirements are a pinata and loud music, and if there's money enough, throw in a large pot of chicken and rice, a couple of cakes, and plenty of lukewarm Kool Aid.
Derek was all too happy to take his turn with the stick.
The mad scramble for candy... almost invariably someone gets hit on the head by the flailing stick.
Sharing candy... It's best to not be a finicky mom in these parts.
No one seemed to mind when this poor fellow came by and flopped down beneath the balloons. His bottle is hidden behind him, the dog is barking mercilessly, and doesn't his face look simply hopeless? Our hosts graciously shared the party food and I sincerely hope he remembers being loved, even for this brief moment.
